Hi all.
I have a 200Watt JVC MP3 deck (Very nice unit) hooked up to 2 MTX 6.5" at the rear (160W..?) and 2 Sony Xplod at the front (160w). There is also a pair of Tweeters hooked up to fronts.
No subs.

The sound quality however, doesn't please me at all. At around 35/45 of volume, it starts to buzz and destortion begins.

I'm thinking of adding a small AMP (Pioneer 200W) to this system.

One of the rear MTXs has destortion already. Specialy at higher volumes. So I'm guessing no point of running those from the AMP.

I'm guessing its better to power the fronts with the amp, and leave the rears for the deck to run.
But the wiring for the fronts from the AMP would be difficult....


Any thoughts?

yO

I would go for it.

the reason its ditorting is because ur running it off the deck......get amps and u will be pleased

definately put it on the fronts, and for the rears get a small passive crossover set to around 100hz or so and they shoulnd't be that bad.

wiring is not that difficult.

LoudSubz:
What does a Passive Crossover do?
Does it distribute the amplified signal between speakers?
How much does it go for?

Thanks in advance for the comments.

imported_loudsubz

a passive crossover just goes before ur speaker and filters out the freq you desire, if its a high pass it will filter out the freqa below that point, say 80hz anythign below that will be blocked or "muted" sorta speak.

it will help since ur speakers will distort if they try to play full rang and play the lower bass notes
