Auto stereo question from newbee
Greetings,
I am a visitor from the 6GT3 forum, and am hoping the expertise here can help me.
I recently put a Pioneer AVIC Z120BT head unit in my 2008 Audi. I drive 100 mi/day, and use many of the functions, but use the iPod hard wired most. I have not changed the speakers yet. The stock system was terrible, but with the equalizer in the head unit, the sound is tolerable. After listening for about 20-25 min, the sound abruptly changes, and it sounds like a speaker has blown. But, if I switch sources, say, to FM, the sound is normal. Then, I switch back to the iPod, it is bad. I tried my iPhone once instead of the iPod, and the same thing happens after 20 min of listening.The next time I drive the car, the same thing happens.
So...
Is it the head unit that is faulty, or the speakers? Can the head unit overheat just one source? Can the speakers distort with one source?
I'm all ears..........
BTW, I have B&W 5 y.o speakers and a Linn amp and still really like them, but had some Thiels, and in the right setting, they were much better. But, it is apples and oranges.
