where did I go wrong?
What's up fellow members. I have a 2010 fx2 and about a week ago or so I decided to upgrade my sony door speakers! Before doing this I already had installed a dnx890hd and two 10" W3 JL audio subs in a fox acoustics box. So I decided to go with the c2-650 JL components in the front and 5X7 JL coaxial that I had already. Amp wise I was suggested the JL xd400/4. Once installed I was extremely disappointed. Sounded like crap. I took it back the local audio shop and told them to re tune it and still sounds like crap. We tried swapping the amp and tried a ct sounds 60/4 and still crappy. They then suggested swapping out head units? I spent $800 for crappy sound. What is your guy's input? I really have no chemistry in audio input. The shop is also not the best but for 800 I expected so much more. I'd say stock sounded cleaner than what I have now..

It sounds like you don't really know they much about setting it up I'm assuming? Take a pic of the amp settings if you could., could help determine if there's a problem with crossovers. How loud so you turn up the head unit? Any clue what eq setting are on the radio? Fade and balance flat as well?

I will snap some pics later tonight of how the eq is set up on the head unit and the settings on the amp as well. This was all tuned and done by the shop. I have to turn it up to at least like 22 on volume for it to get somewhat loud. Unit maxes out at like 35 volume. Once I turn it up to 28 and higher it gets distorted and speakers pop sounds ****ty
