Sounds to me like a poor ground connection that has been made worse by removing the unit and replacing.

Seems a lot of hassle to go to for the sake of a loose connection. :-/

Been driving around for a while now with it unplugged, and i think it sounds better! Had some of the more 'Bass' tracks in the from of The Bravery, i think it sounded better just needed a bit more sound from the back.

1) I plan to do more trips to Holland, so boot space will be needed
2) I think i am growing up  ::)

I think the best way to go is putting some speakers which are amp'd on the parcel shelf?

for the last few months i have been gathering kit together to upgrade my stereo....

I have gone for infinity components speakers in the front and back doors and am no looking round for some decent 6'' single cones to go in the back shelf as well as a nice 'meaty' amp to drive it all.....

If i can i will use a similar amp to the one i had in the gold Elite a MRV407-4/6 Alpine, that was a really nice amp that gave a cracking sound

That's what I've got. Bought it on ebay for sub-20 quid, replaced the MOSFETs that the DPO had blown and it's a lovely amp. :y

each set of inifinity's have cost me about £45, and that's for 5 1/4 with seperate tweeter, crossover and wiring.

I still have to get a load of oxygen free speaker cable to run around the car, a amp wiring kit, some high quality phono leads and then rip the interior out so i can do the install and clean up the interior

6.5s fit in the front doors - bit tight but sound good
