I picked up my 4dr Badlands w/high package last week and in anticipation of poor audio from stock I ordered (4) Infinity Reference 4" and (2) Infinity Reference 6.5". I took my time to swap all the speakers, tested some bass blockers on the 4" speakers but removed them (think I ordered too high a cut, should've gone with 600hz). The install overall went well, the plastics are super finicky and the last thing I wanted to do was break anything, which I managed to avoid so thats a positive.
The sound system now overall sounds clear/crisp, but the low-end is horrible. I made sure that on the 6.5s to attach foam around the mounts for isolation, crimped/shrunk all the connections and it is underwhelming to say the least. The low-end is muddy and to be honest sounds like its driving the 6.5s beyond their limit as it gets very broken up. The EQ has been adjusted tirelessly and the best I can do without completely trashing the sound is bass around 5/10, mid around 6 treble around 7/8.
For the audiophiles out there what would you suggest I do? is it best to replace the 6.5s with something more capable, add an amplifier, add filter(s), install a separate subwoofer? Appreciate the help from the community, thanks all.
