[QUOTE="Stingraynut, post: 298330, member: 549686"] My new system is working fine except that the front speakers in the door seem to be poor quality. I have a 500watt amp (not RMS), 6x9’s rear and 6” round in the doors. I got some good advice here re setting up the gains but the 6’ speakers begin distortion at a much lesser sound level than the rears. I can’t get a good balance without sacrificing some power from the rears. The rears are Pioneer and rated at 300watts the fronts are Sansui and rated at 80watts. I’m guessing I made a mistake there with the 80 watts, should have got 150+ ? To compound the problem the door speakers are right at the bottom so are masked by legs, I’m thinking I’d be better off with component speakers, I can mount the tweeters under the dash ends. My questions are – Are these the symptoms of a low power speakers ? How much better is a component speaker? All advice most welcome, please S’nut [/QUOTE]
