Why is this? if you dont wire the 6X9s up rite on the shelf they cancle each other out and sound shite wire one speaker the rite way and the other wrong see how that sounds, thought it was weird but it worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i thought speakers have different size connectors on the + and - to prevent this also put all the settings, bass and trebble to 0 and try the volume on its own see how loud that goes before the quality drops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speakers have a + and - terminal with different connectors on. However wen you took the old speakers out and snipped off the ford terminals, u may of connected the + wire on the speakers to the - wire in the car.

Ringo_Mountbatten Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 This could also be because you're trying to power up 330w speakers but your head unit is only providing you with 50w per channel. You might want to invest in an amp if you want loud, crisp, clear sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to invest in an amp if you want loud, crisp, clear sound. It shouldnt matter even if u have an amp its like Rich said:- (The speakers have a + and - terminal with different connectors on. However wen you took the old speakers out and snipped off the ford terminals, u may of connected the + wire on the speakers to the - wire in the car.) Even on an amp it will be the same Just try wiring one speaker rite one wrong it WONT do any damage and see the difference in sound. sound should have more bass. Even if your head unit is 50 watts should still sound quite nice, Mine does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
