[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8502074, member: 540940"] I doubt it's quality control. More likely, it's just Boss. Sounds like you got the CH6530's and CH6930's. These are some of THE lowest cost speakers available, and there is ALWAYS a reason for that. The number one thing you need to understand as a novice is those peak power ratings are absolutely meaningless -- even from the quality brands. The RMS ratings from quality brands are the ones that matter. From the cheap brands, even those are lies. Those 6.5's are probably good for 40 or 50w rms, and won't do much even with optimal power. The 6x9's Boss claims can handle 100w rms -- realistically, they're 50w rms or so. But beyond power ratings, they're just cheap, poor quality speakers. They'll never sound good, and they are not going to get very loud given a particular amt of power vs a better speaker. As for the head unit -- 50x4 is the peak/max rating, which you know now, is irrelevant. The CEA-2006 rating is 14w rms per channel. So the problem is -- you have poor quality, inefficient speakers that are not getting much power. What you're hearing could have been predicted if you'd have asked first. Good front speakers and a small amp to run them would make a huge improvement. [/QUOTE]
