New speakers don't sound good

Sensei Kreese · 03-06-2014, 09:32 AM

Sounds very similar to my situation. Took them 3 days to install a new HU and alarm, said they had all kinds of issues with the alarm. My S Mode stopped working after I drove off, the key fob light came on and never turned off and the speakers sound like crap. Took it to the dealer and they said the wires were spliced in places they shouldn't be, just a disaster of an install, wonder if we went to the same place.

Is the Z's wiring more complicated than a normal car? Is the Bose setup messing up the installs? It's pretty odd that myself and the OP have almost the same issues.

No the z is a pretty basic car, the bose system just makes it a bit more difficult to install aftermarket speakers and such but still about as hard as any other car.

I'm pretty sure it's a poor installation and a possible blow out of one woofer. They really pushed it during the whole trial and error tuning. I'm just gonna have to take it somewhere for a check up once it's all done. Just for my own reference, the crossover goes between the tweeter and woofer to control what goes where?

And finally, the mm have a 2.7 decibel or something and to me that means nothing but I know it's something unique and I'm thinking the installer doesn't know either. Thank you guys for all the help again.

What they really mean is 2.7 Ohms, which is what the speakers are running at, they aren't a normal 4 ohm speaker.
