subwoofer sound distorted
my subs sound distorted in my car and sounds pretty bad but in my brothers car it works just fine. nothing is wrong with the amp or sub. it's not how i adjust the amp either. my cd player is kind of messed up though. the yellow and black which i think is battery and ground wires came out of the back of the cd player and all i have holding it in is black tape. i was thinking of getting a brand new one but before i do i want to make sure that would be the problem. anyone know what i could do to fix it? the cd player is a kenwood kdc-mp228, subs are a 10" kenwood db+ with an audiobahn amp if it helps any

Re: subwoofer sound distorted
So you have wired your exact system up in the exact same manner in your brother's car with the exact same settings on everything including the hu?
If this is true, then your hu is probably shittin the bed. Did the come out of the harness itself or out of the back of the cd player? If they came out the back of the cd player you would have to take it apart and solder the wires back in carefully. If you aren't good at this sort of thing, I would just get a new one or find someone who is.

Re: subwoofer sound distorted
If his power and RCAs are next to each other it will cause a high pitched whining noise and will be more pronounced if he turns on the A/c or heat.

Re: subwoofer sound distorted
if you mean hu as in headunit? sorry for being slow or dumb, but my headunit isn't in my brothers car. rcas and power are not next to eachother but i think they run close hidden under the back seat. the cdplayer would need a new harness if i don't solder it, they're not actually in the cd player. theres only one port on the cd player also, so i'd figure it would be for subwoofers. i'll be getting a new cdplayer later today though bc one i have now doesn't even read cds good now. found out day or two ago that it doesn't really sound distorted at all when listening to the radio. we'll find out whether it's the cd player or not soon though
