toast1 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Just installed new front speakers, in a Nissan Micra K12 2005, thinking it would improve quality.Pioneer G-Series TS-G1720F, 1,500bt The sound is very bad, tinny and no bass. Old speakers were much better. Any advice about this? They were off Ebay but from a very big company with good reviews, so I assume they are not cheap copies, but perhaps they are, or just not good quality enough. Thinking of putting them in the back , and the old speakers in the front, but its a lot of work.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubuzz Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 You probably have the + and - wires reversed. Connect one speaker at a time. Check the sound reverse wires if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1 Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Can that make such a big difference? I haven't noticed this before. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubuzz Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 They are probably out of phase. https://improvecaraudio.com/no-bass-from-car-speakers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtail Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Were the old speakers 4 ohm and the new 8? Some batting behind them might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1 Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 They are both 4 I think, I'm assuming Ω is the correct sign. Perhaps they aren't as good as the original speakers, which are Blaupunkt. I am tempted to put the original ones back, even when reversing the wires, sound did not improve. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Where did you get them? Could be phony. If the old ones sounded better switch them back. Contrary to popular belief, OEM stuff is usually pretty good and most always robust.

canthai55 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Problem in LOS is so much copy stuff around - China not far away. I have found if you go to a shop with a solid reputation for quality work there is a very small chance of getting junk.

toast1 Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 I'm in Europe Yes, you are right, the OEM were actually better than the Panasonic speakers I bought them from a big Ebay supplier so they're probably original but you never know, next time will buy from a store to be sure. The guy at the installation shop said that changing speakers doesn't bring that much benefit, only about 20%, not as much as people hope. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
