Major Help Please

[Noah787]

HI, Im brand new to the car audio world and was interested in getting a system installed in my two door single cab chevy s-10. So I did. Im pretty much sure now that its junk but i dont know. Ive got a 320 watt 4 channel tma amp, a 10 tma sub behind the seat and two dash tma speakers and two of those speakers in the doors. The way these stereo guys at the shop set it up theres absolutely no lower frequencies coming through all the speakers and all the base is coming well, through the base. it sounds serperated and tinny. so what i do is turn the equilzation to rock. It sounds amazing. but i can only turn it up a little bit and the speakers blow out pretty much. What the guy at the shop told me is when u use the equilizer on the deck the amp takes that signal and multiplys it so i cant use the equilizer. so with that information i took the base boost on the two channels the sub is using and turned it alll the way down and i noticed my panasonic deck has built in high and low pass filters. so the way it has it on rock it the high pass is off and the low pass is at 80 so it blends. Im pretty sure all the high and low pass settins and everything on the amp is messed up, i dont know what to do. Are these door speakers two small to push lower frequencies? I heard 6 by 9s give more bass shold i try to custom fit a set of those in the doors and put the door speakers in the dash? are the speakers those guys gave me just big pieces of shit and i can get good ones for the doors? Im sure when somebody has a hot rod show car done and pay some guy 3 grand to d othe stereo the guy doesnt tell them oh yah, u cant use the equilisation settings. any way, i just need some guidance and help so my stereo can sound good, and utilize its maximum volume. thanks for your help,

noah

kinda confused. your speakers dont play the lower frequencies, just your "base" does, and im guessing base is your subwoofer? Well, speakers arent supposed to play lower frequencies. Sounds like your speakers are kinda cheap if they distort so easily, or could be how much power they are seeing in ratio to their RMS wattage rating.

dunno what to tell you. Either play with the settings and try to fix it, or its just the fac that the equipment isnt the best. What are the models/brands of the stuff you bought?
