Alpine Componets, Sound...ATTN SCARRELL Options

[celica47]

hey i bought alpine components and had them installed in my car sounds great, but they dont sound very loud. I got a Stock head unit and whenever i shift the balance from balanced to the front they sound weak. Seems like my back speakers are playing louder than my front is it. What do you think is causing this..

as everyone else has said.... you want to power your components off an amplifier... not a HU.. components take more power to get "alive"..... an amp will surely fix this problem.. you also may have the wires switch.... make sure pos is to pos... from the cross over to amp, tweeter and midbass.... fading them to the components wouldnt really be a good fix... you will still be better off gettin an amp for them... you can get an amp for em for less than a hundred... you dont need a 4 channel amp to power em... a small 2 channel amp would be fine.. around 60 - 100rms(each channel)..... i just finished installing an old school Autotek amp to my front coaxials(Kicker DX60's), theres a noticeable difference.. from the Alpine 7893 HU compared to the amp... as far as i know ive read that the amp Should be giving each speaker around 30rms..... i still need to do some tweeking but so far so good...
