Why would components sound like shit in your car?

the way my car is set up..plus they cost more and require MORE F UCKIN WIRES in wich i hate..i like simplicity.....i was also considering maybe type r of the kappa in a 5 1/4 form...i have the highs set i just want a little better mid bass....the prob with the kappas is that there 100 rms each...the r's are only 35rms....im lokkin to get a 400a4 rf amp soon to replace my 200a4 rf...so that would help on power issues

well i've ruled out the alpines...i am now considering the kappa 5 1/4's...i will have to do some custom stuff though.....the 5 1/4 have a range of 55-21k hz....the 5x7's are 40-21k hz....from my recolection i remember that poeple say any round speaker(varying) will have better midrange/bass then a oval speaker..correct? i would think the 5x7 would, do to the fact it has more cone area..idk...someone inform me how this works...if any reades this f uckin thread

Can't comment on the difference between the oval and round speakers, however I have the Kappa 6.75s with 75W going to them. They get plenty loud, but I'm a little disappointed in the harshness of the highs and the lack of lows.

I can probably attribute the lack of low end to the install, but I think in the future I'll buy silk tweeters.
