So my speakers do this annoying thing where it'll play great, then it'll seemingly balance to the right and the left side will be super quiet, then it will be normal again, then go back to the right. It's not an issue with the speakers and I'm pretty sure the Mach460 amps are fine, which leads me to believe it's being caused by the head unit. Whenever I turn it onto AUX it sounds fine and won't fade for 10-20 seconds. Once it fades it may stay like that for minutes before flickering, but if I turn AUX off then back on it works fine for that 10-20 seconds.
Anyway, does anyone know much about head units? I've noticed the majority of head units will have a 50Wx4 max and a 22W RMS. Do companies make head units with a higher output than that? Is there a company known for being louder/clearer with head units: Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood, Pioneer, JVC? |
