Not sure if this is the right forum. Either way, I have a Chinese JAC j7 car that I purchased brand new last year. I wanted to upgrade the audio system with an amplifier and new speakers. But the guy at JAC who sold me the car told me that the amplifier could not be exchanged without breaking the warranty of the car (I guess it would disconnect the entertainment system that also handles climate control etc). My question is; are there any possible workarounds?
At first I installed new speakers (Focal) but without touching the amp. The sound actually got worse (could only play super quietly without introducing distortion that damaged my ears). So I had the original speakers put in again.
Are there any amplifiers that could be connected without disconnecting the current amp? Like a pre-amp that would amplify the signal before it reaches the main amp/entertainment system. Any suggestions? Right now I cannot listen to music while driving due to the horrible audio quality, which is a shame. At the same time I don't want break my 5-year warranty on the car.
There must be some solutions?
