What Speakers? 6x9's , mine suck

[stab6902]

Are you just powering the speakers with the head unit, or do you have a separate amp? If you're using the head unit, that's probably the limiting factor. That said, don't ever expect much bass from 5.25" speakers, and 6x9's generally have marginal bass that some people find "good enough" depending on installation / how loud the car is inside due to exhaust, road noise, etc. If you don't want to add a sub, you could make sure your rear shelf (or where ever you have the 6x9's) is well sealed (so air and bass can't "leak") or add sound deadening.



The fact that the speakers are 5-way shouldn't really matter. They're all tuned for a somewhat linear response regardless of how many tweeters they cram on there. I assume you've played with the head unit's equalizers, time delay, phase, loudness, bass boost, crossovers, etc already? You should be able to dial in the sound so it at least sounds good to you up to the limitations of your hardware.
