Hello,
So just a bunch of random question. I have replaced the door speakers with all 6.5 alpines (comp front, rear Coax), added a sub, and replaced the stock headunit with an alpine receiver. Everything was goung well, but I kept hearing how I needed to bypass the bose amp after replacinga the speakers due to impedance and Bose hating everything not bose. So I did the speakers, and I paid best buy to bypass the amp. All they did was chop up the bose harness and splice the existing connections to new wires from the head. As far as I know the bose amp is still powered...and my stereo syustem sounds way worse. Not terrible, just....not right?? I thought my speakers would be louder as the headunit power @ 4-ohms vs the 2-ohm on the bose??? now I have to crank the headunit to 20-25 whereas bose amped was pretty insane at like 14 volume. This seems backwards? Any ideas?
If it helps...the audio controls/eq on my headunit and fade etc all work. the only thing i notice is the volume jumping if i adjust the basic eq. No HP filter applied, LP set on amp @ 60ish, flat eq on headunit. Always play my iphone through usb.
Thanks in advance. Just frustrated....
Complete setup: Alpine 145BT, 4xAlpine 6.5 (F:SPS-610c,R:SPE-6000), alpine 250 mono amp 150RMS @ 4-ohms into 10" bassline SVC 4 Ohms.
