Have you installed new speakers with sufficient wattage and the correct ohm value to match you new head unit?

There is a volume balancing wheel in the centre console. Have you taken this out of the circuit? Newer head units have their own front/rear balacing and the need for this wheel is irrelevent.

Make sure you have the polarity correct between the speakers and head unit. I personally, would run new speaker cables.

I have a Pioneer headunit in my car- installed new power lead. I installed high quality Alpine speakers with new wiring. I left all the original wiring intact so as to re install the original becker and MB speakers when it comes time to sell the car.
