[QUOTE="Guy, post: 1107496, member: 22717"] I finally got it. It's not glaringly obvious but once you do it... it's not so bad. I think the truth of the matter is that the upgrade you performed is about as good as it gets for what the stock 802a radio is... And what I mean by that... the rest of the speakers are mediocre and they lack clean crisp highs and overall their sound quality is average. Adding some low end punch and cleaning up the bass is an easy upgrade without breaking the bank. The door speakers, center dash, and a pillars all need to be changed out but it's a pain in the neck and a lot of time investment to do it. I haven't done a project like that in at least 10 years and then you always risk developing door and dash rattles afterwards because the factory clips never clip as tight as the first time. There may be enough gain by going with quality tweeters in the pillars and leaving the center and doors alone... to get the overall sound up to decent... the midrange response is probably the thing the current system does the best. I'm eyeballing this project and thinking a couple of hours taking my time and fumbling through it to get the sub up and running... Now in your opinion... being you have it up and running... do you find the low end frequency response is better? The stock sub can't deliver much below a tom Tom drum. Even in bass heavy songs you never feel like you're getting the low frequency response that is intended by the song. thanks again for sharing [/QUOTE]
