Stock unit with factory upgraded Delco Monsoon audio on a '01. But lately bass has been buzzy and poppy sounding. And on average I don't have it turned loud by terribly much. Maybe 2 or 3 bars for volume on the head unit.
Do the standard speakers simply wear out or fail at this point in time? On occasion I do turn them up loud (somewhere around 4 bars), but I would think they should handle what the stock system does without getting blown.
Or could it be something stupid electrical wise? Bad ground somewhere or something like that. Also from what I understand, the Monsoon setup has an amp with it. I use the trunk a lot for hauling stuff, think something bouncing around could have knocked that off-kilter?
I do like having rich smooth bass, but the buzzy poppy bass the stereo has been making lately sounds ghetto. Loud is not enjoyable if there's no fidelity to it, and right now it's not like it used to be. Knowing what to troubleshoot first would be a help.
