Default Poor Stereo Sound

I removed the storage cover over the Sub and did not notice much change. One thing I did learn that when tuning the AMP it is best to adjust all settings to the MID RANGE and go from there. My past 2G's Limiteds were adjusted to the higher side and the sound was awsome. Once I lowered to the Mid Range there was a definite improvent, Not as good as past stereos but better. Will def look at swapping out Door speakers with Infiniity or JBL though.

I would go for Boston Acoustics or Rockford Fosgates for my set up!

Swapped my front doors with Focal 6x9's, amazing difference.

I have a 11 citadel/ hemi with everything except rear dvd.

I thought the same thing when i purchased mine. But if you go to the menu and audio setup, and if you take down the mid it makes a night and day difference. Voices are crisper and bass is now distinctly there. where as before you might have forgot there's a sub in back.

Let me know if this works for everyone else as well.
Note: mid is in between bass and tremble in the audio settings.

I'll have to say that actually works some. All the way down on the mid seems to give the best results.

I lowered my MID Level down to just below center and it did clean up the sound quiet significantly. Still think I am going to R2 the door speakers, but want to wait until they fix all my interior rattles and squeaks first.

I added a audio expert custom made 12'' sub in a ported box with a 600 watt amp. They left the factory 8'' sub hooked up (like it made a difference) got to have bass if you blast that Dub Step Music
