[QUOTE="dawgs007, post: 8616894, member: 662687"] I have a 1997 LeSabre with a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X30 head unit and Hertz Audio 5.25" in front and Hertz 6x9 in rear deck. This system just recently replaced a cheap-o Dual head unit with stock Concert Sound II speakers. It sounded okay, but the drivers side speaker didnt work (later found out it simply wasnt plugged in). It seems that the new, upgraded system is quiter and almost seems like it sounds worse than the old cheap one it replaced. The only difference I know is that the stock system had components and tweeters in the door and this new system was just one single component in each door. It seemd that the soundstage is focused in the back and the 6x9's are doing 90% of all of the work and the 5.25's are just barely even there. Just wondering if DTA, EQ, etc changes may make it a whole different animal? It WAS and still is a system without an amp so that wouldn't be the issue I wouldn't think... and all of the speakers are wired properly at + to + and - to -. The stock system had a splitter plug for the tweeter/components in the front doors but I wouldn't assume that only using 1 of the 2 connections for the new 5.25's would hurt anything? Thanks in advance guys! Just hoping to make this new system as good/better than the old one it replaced! [/QUOTE]
