Hi All,
I know some of you have put aftermarket stereo's in your car and I was wondering if you've experienced the same problem I'm experiencing. I had replaced the two front speakers in my coupe with Focal 165KF speakers and powered them with a JL Audio 300x2 amp that sits in the spare tire compartment in the trunk.
After these have been 'professionally' installed, there was a buzz coming out of one of the speakers which was fixed by replacing the factory line out adapter. However, now I hear a high pitched whine that coincides with the rev's of the engine and I also hear the cambiocorsa shift through the speakers. The installer said he tried everything to eliminate this and thinks because of the transmission this will not go away.
Any thoughts? I'm not happy with this sound at all especially since the speakers, amp and installation cost near $2000. In addition, I performed this upgrade hoping to get not just better sound but better low ends. The sound is better, but the bass is actually WORSE than my audiophile 2000 factory sound. I'm tempted to just make them tear it all back out and put the factory setup back in.
Any have similar experiences with the 'whining' noise?
Thanks!!!
