Hi

I’ve got a 2009 Yeti Elegance. It has the 12 speaker system with amp under the passenger seat.

the system as a whole is very treble heavy even with treble and mid turned down. There is loads of vibration/distortion from the bass speakers as well.

What I need to know is, 

A. What output (W) does the amp put out? I may upgrade the speakers with matching Wattage speakers

B. Is there a replacement amp that will plug into existing cabling? I am happy to do all aftermarket amp wiring, but would prefer a plug and play solution if possible.

C. Is there any simple fixes to the current set up so I don’t have to replace anything ( and save some money)

thanks in advance

A: It'll depend on the amp, probably worth checking it's part number to confirm.

 

B: Stock amps use CAN-bus to communicate with the headunit, an aftermarket one won't. I don't think there will be a plug and play solution and I'm not sure if stock headunits can use aftermarket amps.

 

C: Not sure, some coding changes *might* help.

Thanks.

If I get time today I’ll take a door panel off and have a look at the speakers, see if anything is loose.

Is the 12 speaker setup standard or a system someone has added to the car.
I have the standard 8 speaker setup and it sounds very good.

Stock head units can use aftermarket amps, but need a line level converter or an amp that has high level speaker inputs.  I’ve done these sort of installations loads of times. I was hoping to spend as little time and money on this car as possible, but as always it seems to be snowballing!

Yes it’s a factory 12 speaker system. I’m thinking of upgrading but only drivers and tweeters as the mids seem a bit too much
