Distortion Coming Out of External Speakers? Please Help?

When I put the volume high, the speakers drop out and all I can hear are the subwoofers?

  • I just had a car stereo installation done. After I left, I started experiencing this problem. The speakers are polk momo 5 1/4s and 6x9s getting powered from a jvc kd g510 head unit. Everything appears to work fine at lower volume levels, but once I turn it up high (not really loud or even coming close to distortion), the speakers cut out so all I can hear are the subwoofers. The place that installed it tested the speakers with a volt meter at the connections on the back of the head unit and said they all checked out so he believes its a problem with my head unit itself. By the way the speakers are brand new, the head unit was taken out of my old car, but worked fine. Can someone please help me with this and give me ideas of what could be wrong. I'm going back to the place tomorrow and I would like to have a list of things for him to check since he seems to be set on the fact I have a faulty head unit. Thanks

  • Answer:

    Personal opinion it sounds like your head unit is fried. Probably when you removed it from your old car and installed it in your new one some damage was probably done to it. Especially if the rest of your system checks out and is brand new. Heres some advice ALWAYS go to a reputable place! (with a warranty if possible)

If your useing the stock door speakers they are made of paper when your new ones are made of either plastic or a poly-carbonite...and your stock ones are starting to detearate...and they will blow soon, so when you get a few bills go get some news one bye a small amp if you want a cheap amp go to wal-mart and they sell like a 500w amps for 50 bucks...but there sh!t...

This guy is an idiot. If it was a chain store, take it to another location.

Either the headunit is crappy, or the power to the subs is just overpowering the other speakers that's all i can think off the whole thing sounds very weird

it sounds like the head unit cannot push your other speakers at higher volumes and thats why you only hear subs/i would try turning down amp slightly for fuller sound

either the head unit, or your amp, i would say.

sounds to me like that JVC cant power both the fronts and backs.
