I just installed an abh8400 and it sounds horrible. My truck is 07 with bose. Have everything i need for it to work and its just distorted. Does the subwoofer control on the headunit control the 6.5 sub in center console? Everythig is distorted when i turn it up. I use the usb hooked up to my ipod. Any suggestions? Fsctory hu sounded better

List all of the aftermarket equipment you are using "for it to work", and that should help pinpoint where something may need to be adjusted.

A friend of mine did it and he used the interface his shop carries. So the bose onstar and all that still work. I actually just figured out that my rear driver side door speaker is probably blown. No sound comes out of it unless i move the fade and balance to that speaker. So i think im going to bypass bose amp and get all new speakers and an amp

Do you know what interface he used? On my interface (PAC-OS2X) when I was using the factory Bose until I installed new speakers and amps, there were two inputs for the factory harness. One said factory amplifier, one said non-factory amplified. If I had it plugged into the factory amplified side, it was distorted very early like yours does, like volume 15/62. On the non factory amplified side, I was clean until volume 50/62 on my pioneer 80PRS.

If anyone wants to upgrade their door speakers and keep the Bose amp, JBL makes some 2 ohm 6.5" speakers that sound pretty nice, way better than the Bose IMO. Here's a thread on them:http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/door-speakers-with-no-amp-waste-of-time.78888/

Ya it distorts fast and doesnt even get loud. I mainly use usb with my ipod hooked up to the back of my avh8400 or bluetooth. And it just sounds horrible. When i use the radio i turn it all the way up and i can barely hear it. In going to take it apart and see if theres two inputs tomorrow. Ill let you know what interface it is.

I first used the PAC unit with my Pioneer and thought it sounded ok then it quit. I replaced it with the Maestro kit and about peed myself because of the sound being sooo much better. Maestro has the ability to adjust the voltage to the stock amp. Really helped things. http://maestro.idatalink.com

The Axxess GMOS-LAN-02 has an adjustable audio level potentiometer on it. I believe that's your main issue. If you go by the instructions, turn radio volume up 3/4 of the way up while playing music, and adjust the potentiometer on the Axxess module until it is at the desired audio level. Clockwise to raise it, counter clockwise to lower it. You want to lower it.

I have issues with the way those instructions are, but they're created to make the beginner DIY-er able to follow them and have the results they want. If you need more assistance, PM me, and I'll provide what I can. I hope this helps you out.
