rear speakers much louder than front... need help - Honda Prelude Forum

tom27897 · 08-23-2009, 03:56 PM

Ok so i just installed some new speakers in the front and the back but now the backs are far louder than the fronts.

I am on a budget so i know my choices of speakers are obviously not the greatest =/ but here is my setup,

Up front i have a set of 6.5" pyle PL63BL three way speakers, 360 watt max, 180 watt rms, 89 dB
And in the back i have a set of 6x9" sony XS-GTX6930 three way speakers, 400 watt max, 100 watt rms, 91 dB

Does anyone know of any way to get the sound back up to the front? I've tried fading it on my HU but then i lost a lot of bass from the 6x9's. Oh and i have bypassed the AFBS. Any help is much appreciated, THANKS!!

are all the speakers connected to the unit or the Amplifier

all of my speakers are connected to my HU. it's a panasonic, maybe 4 years old, don't know the model number of the top of my head but its 50w x 4. i have a 160x4 amp in my trunk that i am waiting to connect the speakers to but at the moment my amp is not turning on, that is a whole different problem though (im pretty sure it's something internal). Any thoughts on the speakers?

ok well do you know the resistance of all the 6x9's and the front speakers there measured in Ohms and for speakers its usually 2 or 4 ohms

all of the speakers are 4 ohm's

You have 2 problems:

1) Your rear speakers are more sensitive than your fronts, meaning that given the same amount of power, the rears will be louder.
2) Your front speakers are crap. Any specs that Pyle lists are complete bull****. Sony is not much better but at least their audio stuff is CEA compliant, meaning the specs they list are legit.

Yeah i know the pyle's are no more than a pile of sh*t but at the time i was very tight on cash and the stock speakers blew so i didnt have to much to choose from, but do you think if i only hook the front speakers up to my amp it will "fix" my problem, assuming that my amp will work?
