You're not accepting e-mails on the board, though. Heh.
I've run into a problem with my 98 coupe that perhaps someone here can assist with and save me from having to run new wiring to all my speakers. Recently ripped out the stock deck and speakers, because the CD player died and finally gave me the excuse I've needed to buckle down and put all my spare gear into the thing.
Kenwood deck, Polk 5.25's, amp with just the right power to boost all 4 5.25's in a safe range and crossovers to cut the bass on em'. Seperate amp and sub with its own crossover, etc. All of it is functioning just fine, but I can't turn the gain up on my amp at all without getting some nasty midrange crackle.
I know the 5.25's will easily take even more power than the amp I've got pushing them without distortion, so that can't be the problem. (Hell, they're not up loud enough to even hit a distortion range when they start to crackle, anyway, for that matter.) For some reason, when I turn the gain on the amp or even the deck's volume up much, I start to get a nasty static in the mids. I can crank deck volume and the sub pounds clean, but the mids are completely goofed. I can't figure out what the heck's wrong with it.
So far as I know, I got a car with the non-Mach stock system when I bought it, but the system's almost acting like it had a crappy in-line amp built into the original wiring that I'm peaking out when I try to turn the gain up on my amp.
Any help is appreciated. I'm really trying to avoid having to rip all the factory wiring out and run new stuff just to get my speakers working proper.
