Dumping my system and putting in some second skin audio sound deadening materials. Am I getting old? :nono:
Anyway, the system has been a pain in my ass. First I had a butload of problems w/ the headunit (pioneer 5700, touchscreen, etc). sent it out for warranty work, came back fine, but still have the ever-so-slight sound of engine noise when the volume is on 1 or 2. Could be a ground issue, but I dont think so at this point. Basically low enough to barely hear any audio, but noise over it. Then had issues w/ my RF 5002 amp taking a dump on me. Got it back, worked wonderfully, but now it seems as though something is up w/ the wiring of the system. I think i've narrowed it down to there being a short in the system, b/c every time the car gets wet, washing, rain, etc, I get some terrible feedback or something. Well now, I heard a "pop" a couple times and smelled something burning. No fires thank God!, but all this little crap is adding up and its getting really annoying.
ssooooooooooooooo.....
Tell me if I'm nuts...
I'm debating pulling out the seats and interior carpet. Rip out the wiring, sell off the amp(s), and subs, and head unit, lay down some sound deadening stuff (damplifier, spectrum and overkill) on floor and 3 doors, reinstall an average head unit and keep the REV door speakers, and call it a day.
I think I just dont want to deal w/ it anymore.....:angry:
