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..

my car came with a stock headunit, and i would turn the volume up to like 20-30 and i still couldnt hear my music on the highway. i put in my alpine headunit (CDM-9827) and now my music bumps (even with stock speakers which i will be changing out when i get a few more paychecks) i can hear my music with the volume set to 6 on the highway, and volume at 10 can be audible outside of the car easily. my solution: get an aftermarket headunit, even if it is not the best, it will look a lot nicer and sound better. but hey, an amp will help also =) even more so when you get an afetrmarket receiver!
