====This is on a 2004 Eddie with Audiophile 6-disc Head unit======
I have installed an expensive top-of-the-range Alpine radio some time ago in order to have better ipod controls. I used the recommended harness so I could retain the factory sub and amp.
I've been very happy with the new setup, finding songs on the ipod is a breeze...
...but...
I have to come out with this...
I just think the factory radio sounded nicer. The Alpine only seems to do one thing right: able to play LOUD.
Sure, I couldn't crank up the old radio as high BUT the music was just warmer, more dynamic and more enjoyable.
The new sound is too flat. Loud but flat.
*confused*
