[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8528809, member: 650438"] Because without proper tuning, and install techniques with deadening, sealing and making good baffles, aftermarkets usually dont match up well acoustically which causes midrange to thin out and have an overimbalance of highs vs midrange and midbass which appeals tome people but not most people. Not to mention most legit aftermarket components need ALOT of power to really come to life. A lot of 2015+ vehicles actually put some thought into designing speaker setup measuring acoustics and making specific drivers to match it along with a set stock head unit EQ curve. Given its on a low budget but still nothing as bad as older vehicles. Thats stock factory EQ curve is one of the reasons why most of the times aftermarket swaps alone wont work well. You can have e most expensive speakers in the world sounding like trash if the acoustic environment is poor along with junk digital audio convertors and a fked up EQ curve that compensates for inferior stock speakers. Another reason is because we have had way too many "i upgraded my speakers but they sound like trash or they have no bass vs stock or weak vs stock" threads. Countless threads buddy. Stick around and youll see them, their is probably as many threads about it as much as the amount of words in your post..... [/QUOTE]
