Posted 26/11/09 04:44 AM Share Posted 26/11/09 04:44 AM Sounds like your installer has done a bad job. Did they put in an amp to run the speakers, or just put the new speakers in the doors with the factory speaker cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonT Member 18 Member For: 15y 10m 12d Posted 26/11/09 10:38 AM Share Posted 26/11/09 10:38 AM (edited) Hi, I have the exact same issue with a recently installed cache coe6 Line Level converter, Diamond Audio Hex Amp, Diamond Audio splits, and Diamond Audio Sub. The stereo sounds great - with the volume turned up! At lower levels there's a very obvious amount of noise. No amount of messing with the line levels on the cache unit or amp can eliminate it. Not cheap rubbish gear, so everything is pointing to the factory head unit. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions for us both??
