I just bought the kdc-x890 model cd player cause my pioneer deck broke. After i hooked up the new kenwood deck it sounded like **** compared to the pioneer. I messed with every audio setting possible. I couldnt get any bass out of it. Has anyone else tried this deck? Is there something i cant find in the manual that makes it sound better?

 

when you hooked up your new radio did you use a harness?, Also did you make sure that your speaker wires were connected right. You could of threw your speakers out of phase if the polarity is not right,

 

Yea i used a wiring harness. Im positive i have the speakers wired up right i check over all the wires to make sure. Im thinking that maybe kenwood decks just dont have good sound. Im gonna take it to a local stereo shop tomarrow and ask him why it sounds like **** lol. Any other ideas?

 

yea I would check your speaker harness again. It easy to slip and make a mistake. It happens to the best of us. Is the power rating of the pioneer = kenwood? If not the output of the speakers is not going to sound the same. A lack of base responce sounds more like a speaker being out of phase, Are thoses stock speakers you are using?

 

Both my old deck and new one have the mosfet 50x4 amp. Im using diamond components in the front with diamond 6x9 in the back with a box i built. Im gonna run over my wires one last time right now.

 

a mix up could of occured when the new speakers were installed. so its throwwing of the wires at the harness.

 

**** you were right i had one wire mixed around for my 6x9's in the back. So they were canceling each other out. Haha thanks for the help. I now must say this deck kicks ***. Has just as much power as my old pioneer. Thanks to you i rechecked all my wires. I was so sure i had them right lol. Welp thanks again you saved me 40 bucks plus shipping for a restocking fee.
