I have a
1999 Celica with 4 6.5" speakers and the little tweeter in the door. I am pretty sure there is only one factory amp in the console. For some mysterious reason, the rear speakers are only getting about 1/4 the power of the front speakers, and very little bass. I replaced all 6.5 inch speakers with JL audio, and replaced the head unit with a pioneer mp3 player. Still, the problem persists. I have double checked the head unit installation, and all seems to be fine. Is it possible the factory amp only partially crapped out on the rear speakers? If so, what should i replace it with? I don't need anything fancy. The front 4 speakers sound great. I'd just like the rear speakers to sound as good. Should I (could I) just bypass it? Any help/hints you could offer would be greatly appreciated, as I am getting quite frustrated! Thank you in advance, Joy |

Uhm, did you even LOOK at the power requirements of the JL speakers? The factory amp puts out 6 watts of power. You're trying to power speakers that require a minimum of 25 WITHOUT another amp.Who sold you those JLs and told you they'd work with your amp?
Even if you got the stock amp out of there, you'd still need an aftermarket amp to power those speakers, they'd distort at the lowest volume. |
