Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / January 2006speaker distortion
I recently replaced the tape deck in my car with a cd head unit & changer. However, the sound was distorting at the lower frequencies so I replaced the front door speakers with 3 way speakers to improve the sound quality, particularly the bass frequencies and to get rid of the distortion. The speakers i put in were Kenwood KFC 1789, however the distortion is still there. Any help/advice would be appreciated. > I recently replaced the tape deck in my car with a cd head unit & changer. > However, the sound was distorting at the lower frequencies so I replaced the > front door speakers with 3 way speakers to improve the sound quality, > particularly the bass frequencies and to get rid of the distortion.

If the front and back of the speaker aren't VERY well isolated from each other, you get the sound waves from the back of the driver "looping" around out of phase with those from the front, causing canellation and reducing the bass, which will usually cause you to boost the bass control, which eventually will cause distortion without substantially increasing real bass output. --- avast!

More likely is there is something loose and rattling in the door. Many cars have water shields that are made of thin plastic. > I recently replaced the tape deck in my car with a cd head unit & changer. > However, the sound was distorting at the lower frequencies so I replaced the > front door speakers with 3 way speakers to improve the sound quality, > particularly the bass frequencies and to get rid of the distortion.

Most coaxial drivers in car audio aren't meant to pass full range.  SignatureCyrus *coughcasaucedoprodigynetcough* |
