I'm new to my Crossfire Limitied. I've only driven it home from Michigan, basically and put it away. One of the things that has been percolating in my head is the fact that the radio, while nice, doesn't give me much inspiration. I'm not into head banging music. I just thought it would be a better.

Specifically, while the door speakers work and sound fine, the ones behind the seat are virtually "unhearable". I guess that these are sub-woofers and in that event, they are omnidirectional. But really, I literally have to get out of the car, put the seats up and get my ear right down into the speaker in order to hear them. Yes, they are working, but believe me, I've been around for a long time and it is like these things are not even in the game.

I know that others in the forum have not been impressed with the sound. Surprisingly, when my wife and I first went to see a Crossfire (coupe), the thing that impressed her more than anything, was the stereo. She thought it was amazing. I'm only happy that she has not really heard this one - because I think that she'd just roll her eyes.

Seriously, I do have to put my ear down to the speakers on either side to hear them. As I said, the doors are perfect.

Is this the norm? I wish that I had someone nearby to let me hear theirs. Maybe at a spring GTG I can check out another car. But for now, I'd just like to understand what I have.

Can anyone fill me in on what I should expect? It is like a fader control (which doesn't exist) has been used and it is just barely on.

Advice and counsel are welcomed.

 

You can try the capacitor modification and see if that helps. I did it and was happy, and it costs a couple bucks.

I had seen that post and I'm interested in doing the modification. It talked about the bass from those speakers as being too much and muddling the sound.

Is this modification supposed to result in increased sound volume from the rear speakers? Right now, sound seems almost non-existent.

I never did find the DIY photos etc.

 

Yea what He said! This Year It might cost You as much as 6 stinking Dollars and 30 minutes of Your time to make the Stock Rock!


The DIY photos are on Page 2 and YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will amaze You. Those Subs Do work

 

Hi there Brad Pitmarshal, if you decide on the 270mf mod you are in luck. I have a spare set done up by Maxichon, connectors fitted and all. Just cut and crimp the connectors and you are away to the races. No charge and you'll save all the hassle.

Here is the how to thread.

After Dave hooks you up ....you will be amazed at the difference. It will take 15 minutes tops.

 

I honestly, cannot wait. I'm stoked about this. In part to get the sound improved - in part because I want to report the outcome back to this forum. You guys are all fantastic. I just hope that I can be as strong a contributing member as you all are!
