Hey guys I was wondering if my stock amp is still connected after I installed my new head unit? I added a boss hu and a PAC RCA converter to the new sail panel speakers for 2 12s. The sail speakers did not work at first (only bass?) and I ran speaker wire from those to the rear to get them playing. My concern about the amp is because of the distortion I get when I turn the volume past 35 (hu max is 39) just wondering if I bypassed the amp by not connecting the small clip in the back of the headunit because there was no spot for it. (no steering controls b/c no converter, power intena so it wasn't hooked up, and I disconnected the 12 disc changer) Suggestions would help! Thanks

Distortion at that high of volume is normal. That is almost at max volume if the 39 you stated is correct.

Sounds reasonable, its just not quite as loud as it was before
