Distorted sound for fosgate speakers
So the other day, i showed one of my family friends my car.
btw, i have the rockford fosgate sound package, (sun/sound) and i know that the 10 inch in the back wont do anything, but my concern is the speakers.
i thought these speakers would be pretty good and i let it slide for a while but the sound is kinda distorted and not clear?
anyone else notice this? I compared it to his system and his was very clear, sure it was aftermarket, but the s factory so im pretty sure they wouldn't have underpowered the speakers and etc with whatever amp it has.
I think my particular problem is that the tweets and the speakers dont let out enough hi's so the lows and mids kinda over power. Even if i adjust the EQ the hi's are just weak in general? care to share your experiences?

for a stock fosgate system though?
it should sound with at least some hi's. those tweeters werent put there for no reason.
has anyone added a new amp to see if it improved the problem?

Just accept it - the parts in your car are crap. They're better than the parts in the non-RF Lancers, but they're still not high-end audio parts. You said that you weren't expecting the sub to be good. Why do you expect the other parts to be?
If you expect a factory stereo system to rock your socks, then you need to buy a MUCH more expensive car.

It does sound a bit "cheap", but hey it's a lot better than my old speakers in my old '03 Matrix... and for the price you got it for, I say it's decent.
However, the subwoofer is not up to my standards (I like my hip-hop to be thumping). Worst part is, my sub is already dead and will get replaced in a month or so under warranty.
At the moment, I'm looking to replace at least the sub with 2 x 12" coupled with a different amp. And then from there, I'll probably go into getting aftermarket speakers.
