[QUOTE="Rotelman, post: 786993, member: 19028"] Colincub, it will be very helpful if you could give a description of exactly why, when and what gives you the impression that the system "actually sounds a little crap!" as you elegantly put it. Are you getting low volume, clear sound ? Are you getting correct volume, unclear sound ? Are you picking up some humm/interference ? I would not advise to use your phone as a source, as I've had issues using phones on old(er) amps in the past. The output seems to be too low and there's a feedback/ground/humm sound when I attempted this. Best is to test with a cd player as source through the aux input. Have you opened and cleaned out these units ? If not, I would suggest this as a first step. Put it together after removing all dust and dirt. Make sure all your connections and ground-wire is solid and good. Re-test. If still not OK, then start with an elimination process by separating the speakers and components and testing them integrated into a temporary set-up using other equipment you know is working well. This might assist in identifying the culprit ? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
