![]() I would say reading from GlassWolfs post, this loss or low end would be expected from a speaker upgrade or a head unit upgrade and amps for the speakers would be needed to provide sound quality close to factory. Got tired of measly sound so got 2 image dynamic 12 inch dvc and a rockford 10001bd and that solved the issue lol couldve used a cap. Speaker rear kenwood 300w 3 way around 06 model front stockĪmp for speakers cant remember but similar or the same as alpine mrp-130 how ever it is old like 8 years ![]() The members of the family have increased and have got a van. Posted on Thursday, Aug11:33 GMTId love to provide the items numbers of my cars set up for ya Joe, however Its has been sold over a month now. This is why you will never see ANY ehad unit that can supply more than about 20-25 watts per channel of clean power at the absolute most. Simply said, a head unit's amplifer stage is a single IC, lacking a transofrmer for it's power supply, so it is not capable of delivering very much power in reality. The front door speakers will tend to wash out or be drown out by the sub without proper power as well, and will distort fairly easily at moderate to high volumes if driven only by the head unit's own power. Pretty affordable, not too hard to install, and good results.Ħx9s aren't designed to provide bass, and theycertainly can't even provide good mid-bass without sufficient power from an amp. The head unit and amplifiers will provide any crossovers and filtering required to tune the system and dial it in properly, but that's basically the formula for a good audio system right there. The woofer with amp will handle your bottom two octaves of sound (20-80Hz or so) and the front speakers will really handle most of your audio, so they need decent power from a separate amplifier to drive them and give them good range, and headroom. either a self-amplified subwoofer, or a sub with an enclosure and a separate subwoofer amplifier (class D) rated for somewhere in the 500 watt range. These will be driven by the 2/4 channel amplifier rated for around 45-75 watts RMS per channel.Ĥ. a good pair of coaxial or component separates for the front, and if desired, a good pair of rear speakers. a small two or four channel amplifier (depending on if you feel the need to have rear full range speakers)ģ. a decent head unit with 3 pair of RCA level pre-outs. The reality is, if you want good sound, and good low end, this is how you'll need to set up the car:ġ. The ratings of 50-60WPC are "peak" ratings, and are very misleading. Head units have about 8 to 12 watts per channel of RMS or continuous power per channel. ![]() Posted on Wednesday, Aug19:49 GMThere are a few things to consider:įactory sytems are often designed to work "well" as they are, but use non standard impedances for the speakers, and proprietary enclosures and what not to get good midbass response from certain drivers (often the rears or doors) swapping out speakers rarely improves the factory audio system. I see other people with good sounding systems with low end. My inlaws asked me to install a kenwood head unit in their car with stock speakers and the result was the same very little low end music. Got a alpine amp to power the rear speakers and they still didint have strong bass as the stock, they were only louder, amp was in high pass and low frequency maxed. My mate had a pioneer unit and speakers put in spent $250 for a combo and they sound great thougth it was a matching pair The front speakers are now sounding just as bad. Thougth it was the head unit, replaced it with a kenwood double din 50wx4 and the rear speakers still sounded bad, bass wise. They sounded awful in terms of low range pretty much had no low range at all, turn the bass all the way up and you can jsut make out the low end music. Thought id go better and upgrade the rear speakers with a set of kenwood 3way 300w speakers for $180. I had an 03 mazda protege and it system sounded awsome standard especially the bass.
