[QUOTE="DaboTheCat, post: 8695989, member: 678859"] First setup: Stock Sound System: 7/10 Second setup: Stock Sound System With Alpine 12 inch Bazooka Sub Added: 8.5 Third Setup: Stock Sound System With 10 Inch Type R Sub On JL Audio Amp: 8.0 Current Setup: Type X Front Speakers With Cheap Pioneer Amp DoubleBriged With Type R Sub on JL Audio Amp: 2/10 It sounds soooooo bad. I listened to this song: [MEDIA=youtube]TfEkDqP34xo[/MEDIA] On the demo Alpine X unit, it sounded good, but in my car, it's constant distortion on the instruments. The speakers sound totally blown on this track. Even on tracks, where the distortion isn't as noticeable, the system sounds shrill and has 0 bass punch if the subwoofer is disabled. Even with the subwoofer enabled, the midbass punch just is not there. I spent so much money getting this setup running just for it to sound so bad, I'm kind of stressed, hoping that the shop will do right, and try and help me getting this system sounding decent. What do you think the problem is here? I bought the amp and speakers from them and they modified the door to fit the 6.5inch speakers. They even added dynamat around the speaker. Also there is an audible humming whenever the speakers are playing at a moderate volume.
