Can you elaborate on "sound terrible"... EX: Too bright, not bright
enough, too much midrange, etc.

Are you sure its the speakers distorting and not the amp clipping? The
factory speakers may be more efficient than the DEIs, therefore they put
out more dbs per watt input.

Hello,
I bought a set of dei studio 6.5 componets and my problem is they sound
terrible. Ive got to turn my rear factory 6x8's over them to keep them from
screwing up the sound.
They are running on a sony 70mp3 player with 22watts a channell. I just
got a new car and havent been able to put my amps in yet.
Im hopeing that one of you guys can tell me it gets better. The speakers
start clipping and drowning out about 1/3 of the way up. My factory speakers
can handle way more volume .
The crossover is hooked up I even have a them croosed over at 78hz threw
my headunit.
Let me know what you guys think. Scott

What does this mean? Sounds like they are out of phase.

It gets better.

Directed Studio Comps are killer speakers.


Although more power will sound better, my best guess is that the problem lies
in your installation. For starters, use your balance control to turn of one,
then the other set. Does each set (woofer&tweet) sound equally poor?

If they are out of phase they must both be out of phase. That is possiblity
though. I would go check them but the last time I took off a door pannel I
screwd up the power locks. I got them installed at best buy. I dought they
will look over them for me.

Well you can check by testing each speaker indiviually. Set the fader all
the way front and the balance all the way left and test. Then set the
balance all the way right and test... etc etc. No need to pull anything.
If they sound better individually then they are out of phase.

I agree with Quig. I've got damn near the whole Directed Studio line of
speakers and they rock. Definitely need to be externally amped though.
