Current system & car: Suzuki Grand Vitara, H/U = Sony wx-c570 - like one of those large double size head units - it has standard 4x6.5inch round speakers (8watts each). The H/U is 4x45w supposedly with tape/cd & cd changer.
Thought I could buy a cd change adaptor that allows me to use my ipod through the cd changer RCA's (Sony Car Stereo Radio UniLink Audio IPod adapter AUX IN) - got this for a tenner on ebay - this appears to be working but the sound is super *****, So i decide the H/U of 4x45w should be driving bigger speakers - so I purchase for £60 from Half,,ds - 2x6.5inch JBL - GTO628 with rms of 60w each (max 180w) - put these into my front doors replacing the old 8w speakers and they distort easier and sound worse than the old speakers - where did I go wrong, and how do I get out of this mess.....
Do I go forward and purchase a new amp or another radio - I hear Sony is terrible (it's a large radio - are there many on the market that take an ipod).
Don't have much of budget - like max £100 or 140......
Cheap amp looks the way out of this - but are they easer to wire up. should I have gotten less powerful speakers to start with....?
Any help would be great
