my 325 has a stock alpine amp in the trunk for the speakers/components. i think this amp died, because the volume went down a noticable amount....i have to turn it up to make it as loud as it used to be.

the clarion i have sends the signal through speaker wire, like a high level signal. if the amp died, would the HU continue to power the speakers through the dead amp? i cant think of any other explanation for the volume change.

Yup. You may have just overpowered the input voltage on the amp.

95 - no mods. i might eventually. my car just got keyed, and its things like that, that keep me from doing anything major because people are jelous and have no character. i have other things i want more anyway, my car is fast enough.
