I'm a newbie to all of this and I've got some newbie questions.
Right now I've got a Sony Xplod deck w/ Alpine Type-R componants in the front and coaxials in the back. 6.5" all around running off of deck power.
When playing certain CD's I get a buzzing sound. I assume this is the door panel vibrating when the sound hits a certain low frequency. Will putting in a dynamat speaker kit fix this problem?
My second question has to do with distortion after long periods of play. After about 45 mins of continuous play the sound starts to degrade; the bass starts to fart at lower volumes. My first guess was that the deck was heating up and wasn't able to hold the same output. Will putting in an amp solve this problem by taking the load away from the deck?
Right now I'm thinking of putting in some kind of 5 channel amp with a 10" sub. How does this wire up in connection with the crossovers for the componants in the front? Someone suggested that I instead get a pair of 2 channel amps. Does this mean I'd be running the sub off of deck power?
Thanks in advance
the buzzing CAN be your panels. an easy test is to bump your music and take the speaker cover off. then when the noise comes, put ur finger or weight on the panels. if this stops if, apply sound deadener.
sounds like the amp is starting to struggle. you should power the separates with an amp anyway....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better sound.
i dont know who told you to get a pair of 2ch amps....it would make more sense to just get a 5ch or a 4ch and another mono or 2ch. you can even get a single 4ch, run the fronts on 2 of them, and bridge the other 2 for the sub. then run the rear coax from the deck. im not too familiar with the deck, how many outputs does it have?
