The head unit i'm using is a JVC LH811 which is supposed to be 50wpc.Could the speakers be draining too much power from the head unit?? Cheers Frank |

New member Username: FrankieboyLondonUK Post Number: 2 Registered: Apr-08 | Hi, Cheers for the replys, It looks like i might have to invest in an amp and some kind of base box/tube in the boot. Someone else i spoke to seems to think that the distortion may be be caused by the headunit not coping with the low down base when cranked up, which caused the headunit to overheat and the music to distort.Does this sound right??????????? |
