Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / June 2004No Bass, Please help!
I have a 1999 2 door Chevy Blazer. I was fairly happy with the OEM stereo until recently, when my CD player died. So I took this opportunity to buy a nice Kenwood deck that does MP3's. I also replaced my door speakers with Infinity 6 1/2" reference speakers. But now, it seems my music is very 'bright'. It doesn't have the 'depth' it had with the OEM system. A friend said he had the same problem and that the installer wired a small 'box' behind the radio in the dash that corrected this problem. Anyone have any idea what this device might be? The model deck I purchased was a Kenwood MP425 and the front door speakers are Infinity 6002i. I plan on replacing the 6x9s in the back of the car next and I noticed there appear to be tweeters in the top of the dash board, but they are not wired separately. In other words, there are wires for Front right and left and Back right and left. I guess the tweeters must share the front speakers wires. The Infinity's replace the 6 1/2 OEM speakers that were in the door and the Infinity's have a directional tweeter built-in. Advice?? Anyone? help. Thanks! Carey Sounds like your 6.5's are wired out of phase. Check your wiring. > I have a 1999 2 door Chevy Blazer. I was fairly happy with the OEM stereo > until recently, when my CD player died.

Very common.... Checking the wires visually doesnt always solve the problem, this balance test will tell ya.... If they are wired correctly the bass will be best in the middle If they are out of phase the bass will be worse in the middle Eddie Runner > That was the first thing I checked... > Everything is wired 100% correctly.

The system used to have a full, rich sound. Now its very 'bright' without much depth. Is there a device I can purchase that will resolve this? I'd like at least a tiny bit of thump.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the device you seek is called an... amplifier! They come in all sizes - it is conceivable that there is one small and serviceable enough to fit in the dash. You would probably be better off with one that fit under a seat, though that would entail more wiring work.

All the other subs I listened to were too large and intrusive. This thing has the amp and sub in one unit and I think it will fill in my missing bass quite nicely without rumbling down the road like 'Fast and Furious'...
