Re: Fix For Weak Right Front Channel on Infinity Systems
Thanks. That explains why the nice aftermarket 6x9 speakers I tried sounded worse (I reverted to stock - discussion). So while the HU can be changed independently, the speakers and amplifier must be changed together. Is this common knowledge among folks incrementally upgrading their systems? Does the 315W amp not exhibit such equalization? That might help explain your findings.

Must have taken a few minutes to find those posts.
I think it's underdriven speaker syndrome. It's the wrong speaker for the amps capabilities. I loved the Diamond 661 and 361 components for the fronts. There's a link in the sig for an install. For the rears I like stock coaxials best. I did find some 6x9 quality branded speakers in our restoration projects but they didn't have the umph the stock rears did. Anyway my current 7" D971's in the doors really suprised me. The doors are deadened and there's a back wave pad in back of the door speaker. The rears are not in use.
I hate to say this but there's probably some decent low end coaxial pioneers out there that would fit the bill. The bill being a speaker that has better bass characteristics at a low power level.

Re: Fix For Weak Right Front Channel on Infinity Systems
You should be ok with the dash and door speakers. The rears are hard to tell if they're the coaxial version or the version where they just added a center cone.
The radio will not have steering wheel controls. It's plug and play minus the steering wheel controls and changer. Not sure if the amp has the channel issue?? But it is plug and play so you can test it.
The radio also only will work with a 10 disc changer, and they aren't reliable. But pioneer ip buss changers can be used with an adaptor. The adaptor also has rca inputs. I've posted on all of this changer info.
