OEM Systems can someone explain... - DIYMA Car Audio Forum

You get a new car and the sound sytem sounds rich and full at low volumes and high volume levels but then you inevitabley reach a certain point of where distortion begins to happen. My question is, if I like the sound of the system how can I get more volume out of it but maintain the quality?

For example: audio shops always seem to advise a new HU. Without fail, evertime I put in a non OEM HU in a car then it sounds completely different then the factory sound but yes, somewhat louder volume is acheived before distortin kicks in. By competely different I mean that music seems flat at low volume levels and only a little bit richer and fuller at higher volume levels But not even close to what the OEM sounded like. So I go back to the audio shop and the always seem to advise that "oh..those factory speakers can't handle the power of that HU so you need better speakers." Seems logical, I think. So boom, now I put in new speakers.

You guessed it, the sound now is 100% different from what I start with when I had the OEM unit in there. Go back to audio shop, now you need amp/sub and so it goes on and on. Many $$$ later and yes I got a louder/cleaner sounding system at the same volume levels where the OEM system would distort but the sound never compares to the great sounding OEM system.

Can anyone explain why this is? Isn't there a way to just keep the OEM sound but get it louder and cleaner at than where it would currently begin to distort?

If anyone has a great solution to this that works I might have to just ship some beer money cuz this is just what I consider to be about every persons issue until they get really serious about either SQ or SPL. Most of us are happy with the stock sound but just want to be able to turn the volume dial to 11 with it still being distortion free. Yes indeed that is a Spinal Tap reference.

Thanks to all for any info. you can provide!
