I recently blew out one of my front door speakers. The dealer wanted $250 to replace it so I thought I would get a nice set of Alpines instead. I bought a set of Alpine SPR-174As and had them professionally installed.
And they sound terrible. I have completely lost my midrange. The tweeters(dash) and bass(rear)are too prominent and the Alpines are barely audible at normal volume. When I turn up the volume to get any sound out of them they sound flat and distorted.
I had read the guide at
So now what? I don't want to replace the head unit so I am guessing I have to:
A. Add/Replace an Amp and rewire the whole car B. Find a quality 2Ohm Midrange/Bass Driver (if they exist) C. Go back to the dealer for the $250 stock paper cone driver
Any suggestions?
