[QUOTE="mach999, post: 1352041, member: 565265"] I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima without the Bose system. I noticed the front left door speaker was starting to sound very muffled to I decided to purchase a new set of component speakers. Well unfortunately my mother bought me the Infinity Reference 6010cs speakers and had them installed at Circuit City. After waiting nearly 11 hrs I finally was able to pick up my car and I was amazed at the sound. There was absolutely no bass whatsoever. I've heard that aftermarket speakers do not produce bass like factory speakers but this is incredible. I even have the bass adjustment turned to it's highest level and still almost no bass at all. I could understand a slight decrease in bass but this can't be right. It sounds like the music is be played through a set of headphones. Are these speakers just that poor or did the guys at Circuit City install them incorrectly? I don't know what to do because I doubt I can get the infinity speakers replaced with another brand and my old ones were breaking so I'm kinda stuck. I don't know if this would matter but would it make a difference if the speakers were powered from an amplifier and not the factory headunit? It says the Infinity's run at around 90 rms and my old factory speakers were 40rms. Would that have anything to do with the poor sound? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
