Honda Install Problems
I have a 92 civic hb with a problem. ive got a blaupunkt phoenix sqr 29A cass deck. currently i am running sony explod fronts, and pioneer rears. regardless if i turn up the bass even halfway everything distorts. should i upgrade the wiring from the radio? im thinking of just replacing the radio but i dont want to have the same problem with the new one...
and it has front and rear preamp outputs. i have a 350w concept amp that is running 2 reactor 10' subs... i believe 200w rms each. i have the amp hooked up to the rear preamps. even if i tune the gain to the deck and then mess with the bass boost they get very distorted. i had an old road gear deck in my last car and that worked beautifully for $30!!!! any ideas? i know my wiring is correct for the sub and im using rca wires that can handle up to 1000w currents. im also running my 4ga power wire on one side of the car, the remote and rcas on the other side.
please help!!

the amp fuse is fine. its an 80W fuse. the thing is huge. if it was blown it still wouldnt solve why the explods and pioneers running off the deck sound like ****. but thank i didnt think of that and i ran out to look at all my fuses.

ok i tried that. i left the front speakers plugged in, and i plugged the amp into the rear rcas. same thing. i also unplugged the fronts and tried both the front and rear outputs. still crap. im gonna switch the deck in the morning to my cheapo walmart deck that works so great in my crx and see if that solves the problem... it powers 4 pioneers nicely with a 250w amp. worst case ill just move the whole setup to the civic. sell the blau deck...
