first, i know my deck sucks. please dont tell me it sucks. also, dont tell me to remove my bose speakers, thats not what im looking to do, people on this site tell me all the time "dont run bose with aftermarket decks blah blah" but its worked fine for me except the problem below.

now the real problem. i got a jensen deck from circuit city and they installed it. at low volumes it seems to be very staticy. im looking for a way to get rid of the static.

now, i looked at the wiring job they did and its a sh*t show. they did all this splicing and electrical taping on the wiring harness. if i soldered the wires together would it help at all?

also, they told me when i got my deck that i had to remove the amps off the bose speakers since the deck also amplified the volume...then an hour later they told me "oh no they're fine" and gave me some money back (probably just wanting to go home?)....so should i take the amps off the speakers? or does it not matter? cause i mean...even when u have a deck u can run another amp to the speakers...so i dont see why thatd matter


ALSO, turning down the treble does help, but thats not the real way to solve the problem. i should beable to listen to it with treble at +2 without much static. plus it sounds like crap when i turn it down.

 

Problem #1:
Problem #2:
READ THE STICKIES. Specifically my post in the Car Audio FAQ on page 2. All of this has been covered already 1000000000 times.

Id put money that by fixing Problem #1, and reading what I posted of Problem #2, your problems would be gone. Ive replaced more Jensen decks at work than Ive actually installed. If your going to throw money down the toilet like that on a Jensen, send it to me instead. Paypal is accepted.

 

haha yea, i got my deck like a month after i got my car (about a year n a half ago) when i had no idea what i was doing. trust me, if i could still return that and get my $130 and installation/accesory fees back...i would in a split second.

but thanks man, ill check out the stickies.

 

Reground the headunit...

 

You can't remove the bose amps you'll blow out the HU, on second thought remove the bose amps and run the HU directly to the speakers... POOF time for a new HU

 

are you using one of these?

nope. im gunna rewire it today according to kpr10is's instructions on the car audio FAQ page...

 

I assume your gonna wire it using the rca preouts, if this is the case, depending on the preout voltage, you may not get the volume from your speakers that you are looking for. I d check the manufacturers specs on the preouts......

 

whats a good preout voltage? the headunit i was looking into had 2.2V but i know that more expensive models push 5V

 

Get an Eclipse. They have 5Volt. I love mine...
