[Mk2] [Turbo] Poor sound quality

Post by StevieL »

I've had to rewire my stereo/speakers loom. The old one was removed by a previous owner.

So far I've got the stereo working power wise, and I've wired in the front speakers with some 0.8mm (I think) white speaker wire stuff I got off eGay.

I can listen to music, but after about 20-30 minutes I lose some sound? Sometimes it's the singers voice, other times it's musical instruments depending on if I'm listening to Tiesto or the Foo Fighters?

My question is.....is the problem my w@nky wiring skills or my pish totally standard speakers?

I'm a total ICE biff so any advice is welcome

Normally any faulty wire/wiring cause's crackly noise. If its time related then it will be something getting hot*, only thing that would do that is the amp in the headunit or the speakers.

Might not be hot hot but hotter than when you started them :)
