Door Speaker Question

[steph]

I upgraded the door speakers in my 3 to MTX components in the front and coaxials in the back. Lately, I've been noticing that the speakers in the front aren't generating nearly as much sound as the ones in the back, even if I fade the sound more to the front.

Does anyone have suggestions as to why this is? Could the speakers be blown or not wired correctly? The speakers are running on a 450 watt MTX amp.

You should to check resistance of speakers in datasheets.
A two times difference of resistance gives a four times difference of power.
Second, you should to compare effectiveness of speakers this,
parameter is being measured in watt/meter.
Can’t to say about wiring, you must to know it better.

it could be that you just have your (-) and (+) backwards somewhere. if you just replaced the speakers and didnt touch anything else start there. or it could be at a crossover if added, or at the head unit itself. or one speaker has more resistance than the other like "SAS" said

I don't know exacty what's been done as I didn't do it myself. I had Lockdown install everything for me. I feel as though there is more power running to the back speakers than the front...I'm going to take a look at the specs first like SAS said to try and figure this out

May want to look at the Gain on your amp. It could have been that they set the gain higher for the rear channels.

Thx, I'll check that out this weekend.
