[QUOTE="dgreen2321, post: 4630260, member: 592390"] I recently purchased and installed PG RSD's comps in the front. I have an Alpine PDX 2.150 powering them. The HU I'm using is the new Pioneer AVH P4000. I also have a Kicker 10" CVR being powered by a Blaupunkt amp. But it's the comps I'm having issues with. The speakers really don't sound as great as I thought and not much better than the stock comps (which were 4", the PG's being 6.5") in my Lexus SC300 being ran by the HU amp. I can't crank the volume up to even close to where I thought I'd be able to. I have the gain set a little less than half way (any more and it distorts). The volume on my HU goes up to 40 and the music starts getting distorted at 28-30, which really isn't loud and is what I normally listen to music at. I have my iPod directly connected to the HU and use MP3's ( most have pretty high bit rates) but even CD's don't sound great and the loudness is lackluster. Did I do something wrong or are these speakers just bad. I might as well just put the stock comps back in because they really don't sound that much worse. Is the phase off or something? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. [/QUOTE]
