[QUOTE="WoodsonNoles, post: 3193097, member: 578985"] So my good buddy has installed speakers, etc. for a living before and knows a lot on the subject matter. I drive a 2003 Toyota Corolla and my back two speakers had been blown for about a year or so, so i realized I wanted some really great speakers. So i told my buddy i want some great speakers and gave him a 400 dollar budget. He wound up recommending me Alpine speakers and went ahead and purchased and installed the following: Alpine SPR-69C (300 watts peak, 100 watts RMS) Alpine SPR-13S (Component 2-way speaker system 300 watts peak 100 watts rms) So he installed everything, and upon listening to it we both realized that the back speakers are far more loud than the front speakers. Just to let everyone know I still have my factory head unit/receiver/cd player. In addition, when I try and play something somewhat loud I hear some muffling noises from the front speakers. I mean kinda like they are a little blown or something...I don't know. My buddy says its just distortion because I have a factory receiver and that if I really wanna listen to stuff loud I will have to buy head unit/cd player/receiver. Does all of this sound right? I just feel after spending 400 bucks my ears should be in heaven right now. I have no problem spending another 150 on an alpine receiver and getting that ipod cable if it truly will make the difference [/QUOTE]
