ok, i got my new stuff in...just for gits and shiggles, i wanted to hook up the rear deck ones last night using the ford adapters
first, taking everything apart was a B***H! gen3's are sooooo much easier
ok, after pretty much disassembling the entire back seat, i finally got to the damn things. removing was simple, just pulled the screws and disconnected the adapters. then i just attached the ford adapters and plugged in the new ones (until i have time to run my new speaker wire and new amp, etc)
so right now it's just stock stuff w/new rear deck's....my first problem i ran into was the screws...the phillips screws the new speakers came with wouldn't all work..some of the screw holes had apparently been stripped, as even the old stock screws would just keep on spinnin' :/
as for sound, i need to know why these things sound like crap right now. like, i can hear them, and they sound clear, but they don't have any sort of a punch what-so-ever. could that be due to the couple screws that the threads have been set wrong (therefore, possible seating issues...i notice a bit of small vibration)
could it be due to the stock amp and it not putting out enough power?
i've got a 700W amp (and i didn't know it was 700, it just said 60W x 4) that's going to replace the stock tuner/amp....will that help sound?
also, what can i do about the stripped threads? any way to get that fixed?
