advice regarding my standard setup please
afternoon all
I have 1999 standard UK turbo with standard Phillips headunit
with 6 CD changer and 4 door speakers
I purtchased some off a guy on here some direct infinity replacements 6500cs
for the front doors, perhaps I had my expecatations set too high, they sound worse in the treble and distort as bad with bass as the standard paper ones, have I done something wrong?
I fully appreciate the head unit is quite lame and nothing is amped so to speak
any advice on the next step greatly received -
thanks in advance,
Regards

I have some similar Infinity components fitted to my car, they sounded pretty bad off of the kenwood head unit it came with, but off of my (nice!) Pioneer head unit they actually sounds annoyingly good. I say annoyingly good because I had big plans for the audio in the car but it's on the edge of not making me want to put the effort in.
Problem with "uprated" speakers is that they are often designed to be run off an amplifier, so the head unit really doesn't ahve the guts to drive them well and they end up sounding a bit weak.
Anyway, basics first, did you also fit the upgraded infinity tweeters or do you not ahve them? Is there a passive crossover (even just a capacitor across the tweeter) anywhere in the system?
Looks like you have screwed the speakers directly to the door skins ther? anything to act as a gasket behind them to stop them buzzing/resonating? Even a simple gasket made from a bike inner tube will do for starters.
Sound deadening the doors also helps massively, you don't need mcuh, jsut a couple of squares to stop the door resonating and being tinny. It is your speaker enclosure after all.
