Put in new headunit and now clarity kinda sucks

[Tom Rs]

Ok here it is i have a 97 camaro that had monsoon head unit, eclipse components up front eclips mids in the sail and stock speakers in the hatch along with 2 12" subs powered by 1 amp. now when i put in a FIREBIRD delco radio with that 7 band eq my sound quality and loudness wasn't as good. what can i do to make it sound good and clear again ??

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

rip out the delco and go with an after market

[Tom Rs]

i do not want to

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

an aftermarket radio will give you the best clarity as it has RCA outputs.

The delco radios are optimized to sound good with the stocks speakers, not with after market geat.

Youll be suprised at how much clearer an after market deck will sound compared to ANY stock radio.

[Tom Rs]

yea but what i am saying is it was very clear with the stock camaro radio inj just not with the firebird radio

[Gallstaff]

Then put the camaro radio back in. Some radios are just better than others. I dont mean brands of radios I mean actual radios themselves. You could have just had a better camaro unit than firebird unit. I suggest getting an aftermarket headunit as well since the clarity, especially with aftermarket speakers, increases by leaps and bounds.

Just curious, why dont you want a new head unit. Many people will tell you its the most important piece in your system. You'll never get the best out of your speakers OR subs without an aftermarket deck.

i changed everything in my car to red illumination. i havent seen a good headunit that lights up red so i refuse to replace it

[LARRYfireBIRD33]

Haven't seen a good HU that lights up red? You failed to look at Eclipse decks then. They are great decks and you can change the illumination from green to red. The red is a near perfect match to the firebird red.

I know sony also has a deck that changes to like 30 different colors.. my bro has it in his GP and it matches perfectly

my JVC [I think it's a kdar600] was about $190, and one of the possible colors is a perfect matching red for the dashboard. It dims also to match when you turn the lights on. The stock background trim [you can swap them out for other color schemes] is a great match for the car as well. It's got 2 4v preamp outs and a subwoofer out. The only thing it doesn't have is adjustable crossover points for the sub. [I think it's fixed at 160hz or something]. You can of course get around this by using a preamp out and setting up the crossover on the amp manually.

Kenwood has been producing headunits that change colors for years.
