Got the base stereo. CD player with equalizer and 4 speakers. (not monsoon system)
I notice that the sounds gets distorted at lower volume on FM than it does on CD. Actually, the CD sounds fine.
But it could use improvement. Wondering if adding a cheap 4 channel 300 watt amp driven by the speaker outputs (ie the Pyramid 4 channel unit) and some 50 watt speakers will let me listen to the stereo at moderate levels without the distortion I now get. I think the factory output is 7 watts/channel.
Think an antenna booster will improve the quality of the FM sound? It has the factory power antenna and I wonder if it provides a crappy signal.
BTW, this Firebird has only 30,000 miles, and i don't think the stereo was used much at all. And I really don't want to replace the head unit because I want to keep the factory look.
Anyone know the factory base stereo speaker wire diagram?
