Hi guys,

when i crank my bose upgrade speakers up (i mean WAAAAAAAAYYY up) i start to get distortion. will an amp fix this problem??

will have to replace the existing loom with wire in a bigger size to cope??

can i get away with a 2ch amp eventho there are 4 speakers??

anything else i need to know??

cheers guys and sorry for the nooob questions

Um No or yes.

distortion is either the amp clipping, which is bad for speakers, and eventually bad for the amp when the speakers let go in a smoking rage.
Or, your speakers are having the knacker flogged out of them by the amp.

To answer the question more cohesively we will need:

The head unit you are running
type of Bose speakers
model of car you have
whether any of the above is standard or optioned.
whether any of the above has been fitted after manufacture

sounds like a mismatched amp & spkrs to me

i 2nd that comment about djs
ive been djing for 12 years cant stand djs who walk in to a both n start clipping everything
its all about quolity not loudness
