Disappointed by the standard stereo? Try this!
Ok, figured the clickbait title would be fun.
If you have the Composition Media with 6 speakers, the following settings made a major change in the demo vehicle I tested.
Fader -5 to rear
Bass -4
Mids -1
Treble -1
The reardoor speakers are broadband speakers, and by default there's not enough sound going to these drivers. The above settings will remedy that, and bring a much much better sound.

Active sub and 2x 6x9's do the trick just fine, at half the price of Beats

I would have spent more money on replacing the standard speakers.
Even just adding a compact box will make a huge difference.

Do you have any wiring diagrams you followed?
Thanks

Re: Disappointed by the standard stereo? Try this!
I dont sorry, had it installed by a professional service. I stood by and watched but couldn't replicate it if asked. They got the power from the boot because the battery is there but somewhere in the front passenger foot well is some other type of device with blue LEDs but its hidden from view.phileep wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 3:42 pmHey OomStuOomStu_ZA wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 8:11 pmPictures say it allreyonalmighty wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 7:07 pm

Re: Disappointed by the standard stereo? Try this!
I believe so but only the Beats since it has the sub in the boot. Otherwise it sounds like tinny right?
Yeah full bass and treble for me.
