[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8787226, member: 614752"] The issue with trying to start with stock head units or unknown Chinese source is that you really do not know what sort of EQ, crossover, or other processing they're doing to their outputs. A clever manufacturer designing the factory sound system might be doing some sound processing to work around the limitations of factory speakers and you may be starting out with some non-linear signal. First thing you'll want to do is to make sure you're getting a flat and full range signal into your LOC, but I can't think of an easy way to test this right off the top of my head. Really the trick to any of this is to start at one end and work your way through testing everything along your signal path to try to figure out what is and isn't working properly by process of elimination.
