Hello, New member here looking for help and advise...

To start off I have got THIS H/U (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/s...atalogId=2501&productId=125861&clickfrom=name) in my Clio, I have got it hooked up to 2 pair of THESE SPEAKERS (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/s...atalogId=3151&productId=126071&clickfrom=name) (2 in front doors, and 2 in back door cards)

I get in my car, put a CD on, and pump out the tunes. All sound great for a little while, then all of a sudden the quality of sound is proper pants. It sounds all distorted, and fuzzy. Have no idea why it does this, but the only things I can think of are -

• The H/U is too powerful for the speakers,
  The wiring for the speakers is cheapo, OR
  The speakers are cr@p

I really want to get this sorted if possible, as I am hopefully going to be getting a nice sub & amp package fitted within the next couple of weeks.

Suggestions, or help please?

Ta very much,

Lee

If, after being switched off for a few minutes, it sounds normal again and
If it only does this after being played hard or
If the speakers are low impedance and/or low efficiency

Then your amplifiers in the radio may be going into a protection mode that sounds bad but prevents explosions.

Ok, as I am not got a amp set up in my car yet. Do you think this problem will get solved, if I run the speakers off the Amp, rather than the H/U?

Thanks 😀

Sounds like you're just hammering the head unit and/or speakers too much. Or maybe you have a faulty head unit. Wiring won't make any difference.
