Speakers Need To Go Louder

[DECIM8]

Ive got alpine splits type R in the front of my skyline.. My system is set up so over 30 on the volume and the speakers distort..

I want to push this higher and wondering how to do this?

My amp is a 350 Vseries Alpine and whole car is installed with 6.5 (type S rears) 6.5" (type R fronts)

Is there anything I can do to push it higher? ive not even looked at the amp yet but when it was installed they said run it in and come back for a re-tune, The top guy left that day so I said yeah no worries and didnt go back because the aprentice would do it .. which I wouldnt be pleased with from his "accidents" ive heard about.

So do you think turning up my amp slightly will improve sound or just make it distort earlier in the volume control?

From what I read if I need it to go louder I need a bigger amp and speakers which can handle it .. any ideas people?

If you turn your amps 'gain' up, yes, you will reach distortion earlier (below 30 on your headunit).

Does it get distortion on the low notes? Then you could try to bump up your high pass to filter out some of the lowlows. Ultimate solution, get a sub to play the lows and keep your others for the mid-bass and higher freq's.

Ohh, and have you checked its not your doors that are rattling making the speakers sound like junk? Something to think about.

what he said, knock out 100 and less and it should handle a lot better... have a sub do up to the 120's, that will take a lot of load off the speakers, reduce heat and give a clearer sharper note... having the 20 hertz crossing over will fill in whatever gap you may have...

this is assuming you have the ability to do that, and have a single (decent) 12 inch sub...

Ive got a comp level amp and sub .. so yeah can do it ..

not running sub as redesigning boot presently so thats why ive noticed the distortion ..

my high pass wasnt switched on (even with sub installed) no wonder i was flipping out hearing dual beats
