i got my 06 hemi (R/T) a few years ago and simply love it. i gutted the stereo (boston acoustics w/sat stereo, so it was a nice one!) to put in a custom stereo. pioneer avic 900, infinity speakers, jbl dual woofers and i can't remember the amp wattages.

my problem is it just doesn't CRANK like you'd think it should. i put component speakers in the front but they really just point up to the windshield leaving the smaller woofer at my feet.

the 6x9s are behind the back seat pointing...up. a custom subwoofer houses much of my back area w/2 JBL 10" subs back there and their own volume control.

i can't remember the wattage of the amps right off, killed too many brain cells along the way but a friend put a smaller system into his yaris and lord all mighty - it cranks like my truck used to crank. then again he puts a hell of a stereo into a beer can. : ) but it does sound great.

that got me to wondering why mine doesn't get louder. even up all the way it's just not "jumping".

my initial thought was amp. and it still could be. then i pulled my head out of my tahaha and started looking at where my speakers were pointing.

so before i run to car toys and scream FIX THIS, what should i look at first?

move the tweeters on the componant and cut the interior so it fits in the window rail and points to me?

shove the bottom of the woofer in the front door out some and tilt it up?

bigger amp to fill the car up more? this was in my truck and it had less space to fill so maybe i need to rethink that.

what do you stereo fanatics have in your magnum and when you crank it, does it shake your rear view mirror to the point of it being useless? : )

any ideas from other magnum owners / audio buffs most welcome. i wanna do homework before i redo my stereo again.
