Polemarch Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 My toyota head unit in my GZ was broken and has been replaced with a Panasonic head unit, presumably with an ISO adapter. It works fine though the boot mounted sub now no longer works. The sound is really tinny though and I'm not impressed. Is this down to the CD tuner, speakers, lack of sub in boot or what? I don't want to throw lots of money at this, just want a half decent sound system Right now I have to turn the bass up to max just to hear anything.

geoffvalenti Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Have you checked the phasing of the speakers. If they're wired up out of phase you'll get no bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKIVDreamer Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm guessing that the new head unit has been wired in with the ISO adapter harness and is now bypassing the stock amp which of course the stock GZ sub will have run off. If it is the stock sub you're talking about its well worth considering a replacement as its pretty useless anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polemarch Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 So what is the bare minimum I can get done to get some bass back into my system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKIVDreamer Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Well, I ended up shelling out for a slimline sub with a built in amp but thats because I didn't want to lose my boot space (removeable roof goes there) I got this one and really like it But I think a few have gone for a kenwood - check the ICE section on this forum or do a search Otherwise just find a good amp+sub combo and stick it in!
