<![CDATA[Speaker Troubles]]>Ok so as most of you know I just got my stereo jacked so I'm stuck with my factory deck and some aftermarket 6x9s so i really get to hear every little thing outta those speakers...well anyway when i first got em they pounded like a 10'' and hit pretty much everything...after awhile they sounded blown so i replaced them with the same exact blaupunkt speakers...they are like from 3yrs ago...well anyway they sound blown when i have the balance exactly even but when i turn it to left or right they seem to bass really well and sound half way decent...but as soon as i turn it back to balanced they sound blown again and dont hit bass at all and just pretty much rattle with treble...I'm pretty sure this is exactly what happened with the first pair I thought was blown...so i can 99% guarantee its nothing to do with the head unit...but does anyone have any idea what the hell could be cause this? Please let me know!!

Thanks,
Tony

I've been missin out on a lot of sound for a long ass time...shit hits damn hard for a stock deck and some old school 6x9s...they need an 80x2 rms amp i think tho...i prolly wouldnt need subs

i realize that but it shouldnt sound boggy...ive heard the speakers before i had the aftermarket cd player with the stock radio...they bumped pretty hard for a stock headunit...and they sound the same right now as they did when i had the aftermarket cd player...they should sound way better regardless of lack of power or not

Again, I WAS WRONG AND MISREAD THE ORIGINAL POST BY mwc1 THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY MY RESPONSE WAS ABOUT SPEAKER WIRE AND NOT FACTORY RADIOS.

most stock cd players put out like 50 watts max

BULLSHIT!

there is almost no advantage to aftermarket wiring for speakers besides not having to make any splices. Anyone that thinks they can "hear" speaker wire or RCA cables needs to contact Autosound2000 ASAP and collect some cash from their challenge they've had out for the past 12 years....

It sounds like they are out of phase. You need to match the positive wire from the power source to the same terminal on each speaker.
