One of the most important things when hooking up a competition stereois to make sure you got the polarity right if you cross your wiring to your speakers you'll lose all your bass make sure + is + and -is -

@precise13293 жыл бұрын
@Mike Jones I am not sure if that's true. The assumption being that the speaker operates using magnetism. I'll refer to positive polarity as out, and negative polarity as in. I would also assume that the polarity is specific because the polarity dictates which way the speaker pushes. Through design, the intention of the out signal would have a higher or lower tolerance than the in signal. If you fail the 50/50 shot at getting it right, you could then potentially have a speaker moving in beyond the designed tolerance. Additionally, the out signal would be directing the sound a certain way. When the hit you are looking for in the cabin is instead directed into the trunk (in this case.) Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not an audio/speaker expert in any capacity. Just an electrician applying general electrical theory to the question "does polarity matter?"

Yes the JBL is a better speaker than Kicker because it is made by Harmon Kardon who also makes Infinity speakers but keep in mind they are 3 ohm speakers where Kickers are 4 ohm. Alpine speakers are better sounding than JBL and Infinity etc. Then there are even muck better speakers u can buy also but the price starts getting up there. There are some Focal speakers that cost in the thousands of dollars and will blow away just about any other speaker out there but Focal is in a whole other level of speaker quality.

You need to use a compatible wattage if you want it to sound good. Just adding higher wattage speakers with a low powered head unit is definitely going to be lower quality. You have to match the power output of the head unit with the speakers you choose. Otherwise distortion will destroy the upgraded speakers. You have to match the rms power output with the speakers you want.

But don’t you think you should put the adhesive back under the speaker where it meets the plastic? And where the plastic holder meets the metal? I feel like you should. So it can have a better sound for the bass to travel. Because not properly covering the air from the bass will not make it sound good. I know. Because I tried to change the door speakers with my house radio speakers lol. Like how ghetto of me. But when the other door was open and the other closed. The bass was totally low. I could definitely hear a change in the bass. The bass sounded sooo much better. But I used so much weather strippings to make the bass trapped to reflect a better sound. But when I would have both doors closed. With the speakers in. It would sound flat like if the bass was directly hitting each other making bouncing off to where I can’t hear it. But maybe a simple tuning would do. But I don’t know how to tune the speakers :/
