[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8612444, member: 650438"] Its 1000% not the speaker's fault Its the stock deck with 3-5 watts of power. Not enough power = sh*t distortion and break up due to the internal amp reaching limits. guarantee you if you put an amp on it and swap out the head unit to an SQ oriented head unit, do a proper tune and you'll see the biggest change possible. If I can make 2007 accord stock speakers sound competition grade, you can make your 2015 lancer speakers sound good. They become a totally different animal with power and processing. PS the 2007 stock accord speakers sounded like complete sh*t with the stock head unit. Same issues you have, cant handle bass, not loud, etc... With power and processing and crossovers, its slamming the bass and you cant hear the other person in the car even when yelling at the top of your lungs meanwhile maintaining great clarity and soundstage. yes all from stock speakers, head unit and amp. right... I suppose you magically have a way to perfectly time align mids and tweets that are in totally different places but are lumped into one measurement... Or you have a way that magically makes the passive crossover work well with the vehicle's particular acoustics and possible phase/ reflection issues causing peaks/dips without the ability of changing the crossover point and slope. Deadening only helps soo much on the midbass but the upper midrange to tweeter blend is a hotspot issue that plagues most passive component setups. An issue that EQ cannot ever hope to solve. I mean it can sound okay, just when you want perfection, there's no way in hell a passive set will win unless you get lucky with a set that works with your car acoustics which doesnt happen often.
