PostsOnPercocet Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 First let me admit that I’m a novice at this stuff. I know the basics but not too much more. Also, I’m trying to stay on a smallish budget. here is what I don’t understand. I have a 2019 Chevy Malibu. All stock. No premium sound or anything like that. Now obviously....obviously I’m not saying the thing shakes the Heavens but I was shocked by how much bass the stick speakers produce (no factory sub). Completely shocked. Now my 2002 F150 supercrew has four 6x8’s. One in each door. First I started out by dynomatting the shit out of the inside of the doors. Then I covered the big holes and as many of the small holes as I could. then I installed Cerwin Vega 7683’s and I run then with an Autotek 1000 watt 4 channel amp. I know, I know, but small budget here lol. now don’t get me wrong they are loud and sound good but they don’t have anywhere near the bass my Malibu does. I know most bass should be coming from my two 10’s but it would be nice to have all of that mid bass. it’s not my crossovers, I’ve checked those. What an I missing? sorry if this is incredibly stupid, it’s just kind of baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lack of mid bass. I don’t understand why my amped 6x8’s in my (mostly) done up doors don’t even come close to the stuck stuff in the Malibu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcbrassard Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Sorry, didn't see that what HU you said. It all starts from the sourse and then the install with a little bit of EQ-ing and a system should sound pretty good if done right. Thats the simple answer but truefully after being obsessed for the last decade i am still trying to build the perfect system. lol Research HU, buy one, replace, tuned & enjoy.
