I'm hoping a car audio guru can help since I'm failing at researching my problem online. Installed a new Pioneer MVH-S222BT stereo and 4 new Rockford Fosgate speakers. The radio sound is great, the sound from all streaming services (youtube, pandora, spotify, etc) is great, but when I make bluetooth phone calls the persons voice comes through the speakers very statically/mechanically. Its fine at real low volume but as I turn the volume dial up higher its gets worse and worse. And I cant keep it at low volume because I cant hear over the road noise.
Ive tried a few things to fix it
* three different phones, but all have the same problem. All phones were Androids
* I done all updates on phones and head unit
* Clutch field sent out a replacement MVH-S222BT but it gave me the same problem
* I've disconnected and tried all speakers individually
Its in a 1986 Ford Ranger and I kept the speaker locations the same, two in the dash and two in the back. The back two used new speaker wires and the front two used the stock wires/connectors. I have a different pioneer head unit (AVH-X391BHS in my 1998 Mountaineer that works fine with bluetooth phone calls. I really think I did something wrong with the install since I have the same problem on two different head units and 3 different phones but I just cant seem to figure it out. But maybe I didnt since bluetooth works fine for streaming music from my phone to the stereo??? Maybe I try a different brand?
Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated
Thanks for your time
