seriously though, I don't understand exactly how my age is of any significance. I'm not in the 16-24 age range which I figure you probably suspect however.

I'll be 26 in January.

why are you still using a cd player anyway??? why don't you just use the AUX port and plug up the iPod?? Huh? Huh? "Cd's are so 90's" lol

I've did a horrible thing one night about 2 years ago.... I downloaded about 40 discographies off bit torrent... ended up with 40gigs of mp3's in under a week... gots TONS AND TONS of stuff.... 70% of which was stuff that was repeats like live or acoustic or remix of the studio recording... or I simply just didn't like...

I got rid of most of it.... but still have a tons of songs from sooo many genres that when ever i put stuff on my ipod.... its incredibly random and doesn't even really seem that great.

and i'm too lazy. I hate Itunes... damn ipods.

Just trying to figure out why you are running subs off of your stock radio??

POORSHA · 12-09-2008, 06:46 PM

My radio eats cds it is being replaced thurs. Dealer says they see this all the time.
Took 2 weeks to get replacement radio in stock. If you think it's bad replace it under warranty

cause i just wanted the slightest bit of clean bass.

Spades · 12-13-2008, 01:34 AM

my wifes aveo is running a single mtx 10" on the stock deck. it is using kenwood speakers. its not a show winning setup, but its pretty clean and sounds good considering i only have about 150 bucks in the whole set up.

stock decks can be clean esp if you get some low power high efficiency speakers that are of decent build. may not be the ideal set up, but if you are low on cash or just like the simplicity of a factory deck, meh, it works.

ZING · 12-14-2008, 08:18 AM

hm..mine is significantly louder when i play Cd's compared to using my ipod on the aux. why is that?

TheRealEnth · 12-14-2008, 11:27 AM

same here, an mp3 on aux doesnt seem as natural sounding, seems like its being converted... Dead and low... unless someone has a fix for this?

tuckevalastin · 12-14-2008, 12:58 PM

I upgraded from a $25 aux cab to a $70 aux cable and now it is damn near on par with the CD player sound quality... also depends on the MP3 player

TheRealEnth · 12-14-2008, 01:33 PM

So its all the aux cable and mp3 player? Didn't know there were different quality aux cables =p

hehe neither did I tbh :O

Will buy a new one and try it out.

tuckevalastin · 12-14-2008, 03:11 PM

It's not all in the cable and player but they are what you can upgraded yourself to improve the sound. Sound quality is always going to be lost just by it being an MP3 and by it going through multiple connections.

I personally use a Audioquest Mini-3 1 meter long cable. I'm sure if I went to the Mini-5 or Mini-7 my aux sound quality would be even more improved but these retail for $125 and $300 for 1 meter cables. To me I reached my limit on how much I would spend on a cable. For a good while I just used a cheapo cable and still was relatively happy.
