i cant get my speakers to sound good at all. i just put a alpine cde 102 in my car, i have cheap insignia replacements in the back while i build my system up. i have uncovered type r 5 1/4 speakers in the front because they were too deep for my panels and i havent figured out what to do with them yet. i had to drill holes in my door panels to fit them. i have to add that i had to kind of rig them up ghetto because the bracket didnt fit my car. anytime i turn my music up at all they instantly distort and sound ****ty even with the bass turned down. im not sure what to do. by rigging my speakers up ghetto i mean that one of the screws didnt go over one of the holes so after i screwed in three holes i had to force my other hole to go over. is this why they are distorting so badly?
I would make sure that the cone of the speaker isn't touching or rubbing anything.Double check all of your wiring.Can you show pics of your install?Also,check to see what your h/u settings are and let us know,like bass boost,loudness etc.
the cone isnt getting rubbed or anything like that. everything is one default because i cant turn anything up without it distorting. ill have to get pictures later im a little hungover
ill have to get those pics after work tonight. and my speakers up front are 6 1/2 not 5 1/4 for the record haha
At least you got it to sound good.Are you getting a amp for the fronts,rears,or both?Please include a budget if you want suggestions.
some songs still distort but i feel like once i get my amp everything will be fine. im getting the 4 channel alpine 445 plug in amp. ive heard nothing but good things about it
Let us know how you like it after you've played with it for a while.I know I'm curious how well it works.
