I bought a CPO 2002 passat with the Monsoon Sounds System installed. The audio has PLENTY of bass but the mid and upper frequencies are very... shrill or tinny. I find myself turning the mid and high adjustments down quite a bit. Is this typical of the Monsoon systems or should I take it in to be looked at?
By the way, I was on the fence about the Phatbox system until I received as a gift, a portable MP3 player. (Creative Nomad 30 GB memory).
I bought an FM transmitter to send the signal to the car system. It was terrible. Absolutely terrible. I took it back.
I got a cassette adaptor. After playing with it for a while, it sounds pretty darned good !.
What REALLY helps is the MP3 player has an equalizer built into it. After turning down most of the high end, it sounds really good.
The Monsoon system has plenty of power and plenty of bass, however, overall it's sounds pretty bad. Again, is this normal?
Thanks !
