A little history.

1. I have already installed a Kenwood X791 head unit with Sirius, Ipod and Bluetooth.
2. Also a false floor in the trunk with a separate Ultimate amp with a Blaupunkt Low Profile sub. I am very happy with the bass and it does not take up to much trunk space.
3. I am NOT happy with the front speakers, they seem to be very muddy and not as clear as I would like them.

1. Should I just replace the front speakers with something like the Infinity Kappa’s and leave the OEM amp alone.

2. Should I replace the amp and speakers, and maybe disconnect the rear (behind the seat) speakers? Since the bass is already being handled by the 10” in the trunk.

 

Out of curiousity have you done the capacitor mod for the door speakers? They clean themselves up rather nicely after that mod...

edit: I would start with replacing the speakers alone if you do not like them. Make sure to look up the specs on them and whatnot before you shell out big bucks for speakers that may not work.

If you are still unhappy, move to pulling out the old amp and getting a new one.. perhaps to power just the sides or even to power the backs as well.

if you'd be spending that kind of money anyway, why not spend as little as possible (just the speakers) and then move up?

Though, if you haven't done it, the capacitor mod is all of $5 bucks and two beers. That'd be my first try. Followed by speakers, and then possibly by a new amp and old/new back speakers, etc.

 

Yes, I did that mod. Still not happy with the front speaker setup. Not sure if it just a power issue or a speaker issue.

I guess the problem with just changing the speakers, if I get this right, they are 2 ohm and if I change the amp also, I would switch to a 4 ohm system.

I believe it is 2 ohm because they are joined with the back subs.
