This is one of my first post in tech, but I've gotten a ton of useful information from lurking since a couple months before I got my 80 in October, so thanks for all the help I've already gotten.
When I plug my iPod into the tape adapter my ds speakers are noticeably quieter than my ps speakers. I've tried a few brands of casette adapters, and they all do it, but all work fine in my civic. This is not an issue with the CD changer, or the radio, just my iPod. Unfortunately, the iPod is all I'm interested in listening to.
I'm thinking about a new head unit, but if I'm going to do that, I want new speakers, and I understand the thing to do there is bypass the factory amp. While I wouldn't mind a real audio upgrade, (head unit, all 7 speakers And an amp), I'm not looking to spend $1500 or $2000, and don't have the space to do it myself.
The sound when listening to a cd on the factory system is actually pretty decent for a 15 year old truck, and I fear ditching the factory amp, dash speakers, and console "sub" (ha!) in favor of a new head and speakers would actually be downgrading? I'm thinking of mid grade kenwood/alpine/pioneer stuff. Maybe a $200 head and $75 on each set of speakers. Thoughts? Thanks!
