Hi guy's,

I am currently running a cadence Q400 for my front (Diamond Audio M661) speakers and rear (MTX T6.6) speakers. Sound quality is still not as I expect it to be. Could it be the amp itself? ANyone have any experience with this particular amp?

either the amp or the wires used could be the problem. what type of quality are the rca's?

If you say "I already know how", don't ask me a single question.

Update: Just got in, was out playing with settings some more (too many too play with). Got it to sound a little better but still not what I would expect or hope for.

In this case I am just woundering if I replaced the cadence amp with say a JL 300.4 if that might increase the sound quality or might it not. My local shop deals with JL, Alpine and Kicker.

The amp really dosn't make that much of a difference (unless it has an EQ or bass boost or something). I would maybe try a new headunit instead of a new amp. An Eclipse headunit would be alot better.

Well, I am using an Alpine 9833. This unit came highly recomended to me via my local shop (and thats where I bought it).

I use cadence amps all the time. I have a ZRS-4 on my mids/highs and a ZRS-9 on my lows. Trust me, its as clean and as clear as you will want when its hooked up right. If you trade in that Q400 for anything, make it a ZRS-4.

Now that I have a really good front channel going it seems as if the signal isn't as clear as it should be. I do like Cadence and maybe this old amp is just getting tired. I will definatly look into the ZRS-4.
