Re: alpine CDA-9885

Did you upgrade your speakers when you replaced the headunit? An aftermarket HU puts 55 watts to each channel and the factory units were built to handle about ten watts. Could be that your speakers just aren't up to the challenge, and you don't really notice it until the volume is cranked.

Re: alpine CDA-9885

i did change out my speakers though, i have kenwoods all around, couldnt quite beef up the front ones, but the backs are 6x9's, with 3 tweeters per speaker...i mean they can crank out some sound but you think its because of the fronts? its a possibility, maybe i should look into a bit beefier ones.......

Re: alpine CDA-9885

yeah thats probably the best thing you can do, i thought my front ones were stock because they sounded like crap, but when i switched decks it sounds clearer, and i remember when i got the car he had recipts for 6 x 9's and 4 x 6's pioneers i think.
