    2023 ST Weak Audio - Amp possibly not even working?

    Also a huge factor. Gotta love cheap paper cones. Great point. Nothing appears to be filtered from what I hear, just full signal to the maximum response range of crappy speakers. Very disappointing

    2023 ST Weak Audio - Amp possibly not even working?

    Yeah its across the board. FM is slightly better at lower levels just because of the EQ they put on it, but that just means it breaks up sooner. Having built many a car stereo, I'm pretty convinced this is just a lack of watts issue at this point

    2023 ST Weak Audio - Amp possibly not even working?

    Seems to function with just 1x of either fuse 115 or 127. I guess its working, just quite weak. Not sure why they went with 14 speakers to then power them so poorly. Thanks for the help!

    2023 ST Weak Audio - Amp possibly not even working?

    I forgot to add that it is the 14 speaker version. Perhaps it runs on a different fuse than 115 as the manual indicates?

    2023 ST Weak Audio - Amp possibly not even working?

    Hi all, I have a 23 ST with the 14 speaker B&O stereo. Despite all my tuning, the audio is VERY weak. Distortion happens >23, and there is no volume increase above 25 I started to wonder if the amp was even working, as it just seems to be very underpowered. I pulled fuse 115 from under the...
