i have a 2001 chevy s10 ls that had all stock speaker wich sounded full and good until 2 blew out and then i put poineer speakers and they dont sound as good, I used the little connecters that it came with to hook it up but would it sound better if i directly connected it by sodering the wires in to the speakers? the new speakers just dont have the full sound and bass that the stock speakers had. i dont understand why what can i do to get that full sound back?
You gotta buy better aftermarket speakers. Or, if you know they're good quality, considor upgrading your headunit (radio) OR upgrade your other speakers to the same brand and put in a small amplifier. As long as the connection is solid, soldering only makes it more durable in the long run.
I agree with the previous answer. I recommend looking into MTX. Pioneer just isn't very good sound quality for full range speakers. You will never get the same bass response as the factory system until you upgrade the head unit to a good quality aftermarket.
Alpine Type R 6x9 SPR-69 bass was classic six-by-nine. Tight, well balanced, taut and with nuance and ability to track even rich bass lines with a great melodic ability, quite removed from a crappy cheap subwoofer that can only go boomp boomp badly, let alone one of the new generation of Alpine’s shallow HAMR woofers (as seen in the new Euro demo Nissan Infiniti demo car!) that sound so fabulous. I love the swivelly tweeters and reckon that if on your rear shelf, you don’t attempt to point their output at the front of the car but rather work out some Newtonian angle-of-incidence stuff with your back window and spray the highs directly flat at the screen to the rear if you can to best distribute the high tones.
whats up Brian? its been awhile, another way you can check on your speakers is to make sure you have them wired correctly, if you replaced the fronts the dark green and the gray are the negative speaker wires, if you replaced the rears the light blue and yellow will be the negative wires, if you have one speaker wired backwards (out of phase) will you lose the bass and the speakers will not sound right, an easy way to test is to fade the radio to the speakers you replaced then balance left to right if they sound better with just one speaker then you have the speakers wired backwards
