In a perfect world, your subwoofer would be in front of you. ![]() This is very important in terms of getting a good front sound stage where the bass almost sounds in front of you. The lower you can get your front 6.5's, the less "bass in the back" sound you have. ![]() What I am talking about in particular is lower mid-bass frequencies. It is very true and very difficult to achieve considering all of the holes in the door and that pesky window. Mid-bass is the frequency range that is affected the most if a set of door speakers is not installed properly." Ever upgraded from stock speakers only to be met with disappointment as you note the supreme loss of mid-bass response? If so, you’re not the only one. "Mid-bass is simultaneously one of the most impressive showings of a good car stereo system as well as one of the most often mucked up showings of a bad car stereo system. I wanted to elaborate on the term "mid-bass" since I have worked out already and Covid-19 is amongst us (bored). Extremely clean/linear, thumping bass you can feel if you want to. My sub system is a used $275 JL Audio 10W7 with a used $150 JL audio XD 600 watt amp. I personally prefer a high quality 10" sub in a sealed enclosure with a good D class amplifier. For sure not cost efficient.īeyond a good center speaker and tweeters, the next best upgrade is a subwoofer. To improve upon the 6.5" sound, you would need an aftermarket amplifier and good aftermarket 6.5's which means DSP as well. The front door 6.5" woofers are pretty decent and tough to improve upon without amplification. The combination of the center dash speaker and these tweeters will blow you away. These will not only add volume, but a significant improvement in sound quality. I chose a 25 watt resistor.Īs promised, I finally got around to running some experiments on improving the sound system without breaking the bank.īesides the center speaker, the next upgrade I highly recommend is adding Infinity Reference REF-375TX tweeters (very efficient). Make sure your resistor is at least 10 watts. For those willing to take a chance I highly recommend it. I know there will be those who disagree but I really love it. In my opinion, the sound is more fuller and it is very difficult to detect speaker locations by your ears now. The factory dash speaker is 8 ohms so I added 3 ohms in series to get just the right amount of center dash sound to please my taste. The problem is the efficiency due to being only 4 ohms in impedance made it way too loud. This led me to installing an aftermarket high quality speaker. I think with high quality door speakers the "hole" would not be so pronounced. I feel the factory dash speaker could be a little louder without killing stereo imaging as well. I like more of a center sound stage without the hole in the middle (personal preference). With the dash speaker disconnected, you could really tell the locations of front door speakers which personally I don't like. I played around with the dash speaker by connecting and disconnecting it while listening to music. ![]()
