What is it the speakers or Headunit

[STi_Bandit]

Above sort volume 18 the music in the car becomes all distored and starts to break up which is pretty crap i was wondering if its the speakers that cant cope or the headunit

Both - (Kenwood) headunit is only 7w per channel IIRC (built to a LOW budget) and the speakers are the cheapest, most rubbish junk ever.  Also the Impreza is not great acoustically []

More than likely Speakers, but its a subaru, who cares about music [:S]

Dont think you could call what i listen to music but slipknot starts to break up into sounding like a sowing machine at 18, the joys of  a louder exhaust turing the cd player up,

or alternative sit back and enjoy the burble

probably slipknot sounds better at 18.... would sound better at maximum

Bandit, I dropped a Pioneer Headunit into mine (installed myself) and it really did the business without a speaker change.

YES, the standard speakers are less than gash, but if you're running a decent wattage to them from a quality head unit then they do the job.

Iam going to sound hypacritical here, but ive seen a few installs of single din head units and personal i preffer the double din's in the new age dash, was looking at a few kenwood ones but there all 600 - 700 quid  []

one word and one word only ....alpine !!! personally i cant get enough of them and have replaced all my audio with them !! except the sub (which maybe a mistake!!) which is a blaupunkt velocity number !!!

Question on that front. Is the radio aerial built in to the back

windscreen (MY04 WRX)? I picked up an IPod transmitter in the US and

the quality is pish. I bought one of those cassette jobbies that plug

into the IPod, but the cassette player just constantly ejects it.[:'(]

The antenna is on the rear window. It is powered too. If you've got the standard headunit then it should be powering ok, but if you've put a new one in then there's a bit of a wire fudge needs done to get it working. Or at least there was for me.
