Head Unit issue

[Big_daddy]

Just replaced the front speakers and added some rear tweaters. The tape was fine giving some decent bass (10mins later), but then the bass slowy started dying down and little disorted (when crank the volume), plus when pump the volume the headunit screen flickers
Tried search but nothing
Worst day to top it off some c*ck scraped my rear bumper

to much power from the speakers fore the head unit i think you need a amplifier

It was working for 10mins, then started degrading, speaers are 240watts-80watts rms, they do states you need minimum of 40w rms to power them, they are edge speakers by the way.

Standard HU is 4 x 40 @ 4ohms I think, anything other than standard will pretty much burn the amp out

is it possible to upgrade the amps in them? or only option to add seprate amp to instead?

It's probably possible but wouldn't be worth spending the money to do it.

Just stick a cheap 100W amp under your dash or seat or any where else you can hide it

Found my old 200watts tornado amp lol
it a 4 channel amp, the front only has level gain on it, but the rear has level, trebble and bass, would it be better to connect the front speakers to rear out put of the amp? as i can control the bass treble?

 

[Big_daddy]

Just fitted the amp, had it setup and it was decent, today it all out of line, even if the amp gain all the way down, the sound and bass is disorted.
can the headunit be mucked up? loud feature dosnt realy make much different.
So bloody annoyed!!!!!!!

Make sure no wires are touching sounds like cables are touchin as its interferring with the screen make sure none are touching and if still problems accur then yes its to powerful for the headunit, hope this helps cheers,

 

[Big_daddy]

Its deffo the headunit, spotted 20watts rms on front head unit
Plugged my portable sony cd player into the amp and it sounded loads better abit more clear bass than head unit, not sure weather to upgrade to after market or not
