I have a 2017 Chevy Sonic LT that I'm just using as a commuter, so I'm thinking about filling it to the brim with speakers cause what the hell right?
Well, I'm not thinking I'll be able to put an aftermarket head unit in it.
It's super integrated into the car w/ OnStar, USB plugs, bluetooth, etc etc.
Haven't found a compatible dash kit for it.
There are many online that SAY they are compatible, but its easy to see they are not just by looking.
So Probably would have to use the existing speaker outputs and LOC converters, but I'm worried because the equalizer seems to behave very badly.
It seems like when you turn the bass up, the bass indeed goes up, but if the bass and highs hit at the same time, it will cut the highs.
Very strange.
It's almost like it has a built in compressor that is constantly trying to sausage the **** out of the signal no matter how much it has to boost or attenuate certain frequency ranges.
Anyone have experience with this issue or know how to work around it for an amp input?
