Noob help for Corvette owner

Recommended Posts

Hi first post thanks for letting me join . I recently had the following installed in a 1999 C5 Corvette . 
Kenwood DMX 7706s

JL Audio HD 9001/5 Amp

Morel Virtus Component 6.5 Soeakers (Front )

Morel Tempo Ultra 602 (Mid)

JL Audio 10W3V3-4 Rear Sub ( with adjustable knob)

The sound sounds real washed out with no “punch” to it . Any suggestion on what could be the problem .. or amp setting that I should check ? I would really appreciate any help . Driving me crazy ! I included a pic of amp settings .

:WELCOME: and this is what we are here for.

 

I cant tell where your gain is set from here.

Never used a JL amp before, should the crossover settings be either on 12 or 24db setting?

Can you describe what you mean by muddled and washed out?  Also share what trouble shooting you have done already.

Not very crisp or punchy . You wouldn’t even think it had a decent amp behind it .  It’s going back to the shop who installed it next week to get checked out . It was put together with very decent components imo. I’ve had systems that I’ve spent 1/3 of the money on . And sounded twice as good as this one . Could it be the quality of the Spotify  files ? I stream everything. Thanks .

Streaming is a horrible idea for good sound.  I can't comment too much more because we are just missing too much information, but I would venture to bet there are some phasing and/or cancellation issues present here.   Any competent shop should have been able to handle that though.  I am a bit suspect of the shop right now.  Hopefully something just went wrong and they can get you on the right track.  And just so you know, we require pics!
