Distorted speaker
« on: February 23, 2015, 05:47:34 am »
I just wired a new headunit and dash speaker in my truck. The speaker sounds like garbage. Could the problem be the small wire that came with it? Poor ground? Im also gonna be adding cab corner speakers

You have a new head unit and dash speaker, but the speaker sounds bad, right?  You wired the speaker with the wire that came with it?  Can you give model numbers for the speaker and head?
