i have just installed a 4 chann fosgate amp with the stock headunit and speakers except for the tweeters... now it has a very loud statics sound...... i know that s kinda normal ( i used 2 hi-low converters.. RCA converters.. noise filter and etc) and all of a sudden it became even worse.... sometimes the music from my front speakers would just became LoudER stactics noise and stop working.. but my rear speakers r fine...

anybody installed 4 chan amp with stock headunits here??
tell me if u have the same problem.....
Dude.... someone help me plz.. i cant drive without music!

These are two ways to connect the stock systems

1/ Stock HU -> Stock amp -> Hi/Low Converters -> RF Amp -> speakers (all, including tweeters).

or

2/ Stock HU -> Soldered RCA cables (to stock HU output) (no stock amp) -> RF Amp -> Speakers (all, including tweeters).

Option 1 give out louder sound with a little noise, not noticable (sp?) with music on.

Option 2 give cleaner sound.

Either way, you will get static if you set the gain too high on the RF amp.

step 3) get an aftermarket head unit for cheap w/4v preout and save the time and hassle with those stupid ass convertors...

you might wanna check all your connections...specially the rca connections to the aftermarket amp. i had the same problem. it was not alternator noise. there were times when the static would be really loud....there was a time when my front right speaker would just die. i checked the rca connections on my amp and the monster cables i had were loose. so i tightened them up and have not gotten the static noise since then.

I agree with Slooo97CL! You can get a cd player for around $100 these days.

icy CL

yup...you can...but it's not a 6 in-dash cd player. you can get an aftermarket 6 in-dash cd-player by nakamichi but that costs about $450. then you'll have to have the face plate custom made, brackets and everything....cost much more i think. that's what i intend to do and am trying to save up to do it.

SilverKnight

Exactly. While most CD players are fairly cheap now, you cannot find a 6 disc in dash changer for cheap. Also, it's not easy to get your hands on a nice custome faceplate. And you will need an EQ or something to fill the oversized dash area.

yah that s what i m saying...=)
i would have get a new headunit long time ago if it s not because the stupid Acura made the funky ass shape headunit... and it s a bitch to cheap CDs while ur driving ..
