I have just had my audio system upgraded using the components from my old system:

Boston Pro 5.5 Splits
Alpine 6x9s
MTX 4 channel amp
MTX 2 channel amp
MTX 12"

using the factory HU

HOWEVER I have been abit dissappointed with the overall sound quality and bass production ..

Previously the audio was crystal clear and sharp with nice booming bass

So now i've decided to go ahead and add in my after market HU

ALPINE 7998R witht the alpine mp3/6 stacker.

just to see if this clears things up and brings my system back to it's former glory

turn the 6x9's off and see if that helps ;)

Clarity in the mid-upper range I'm assuming?

POID - i wouldn't mind keeping them on even if they are just high pass

Wynode - yeah mid-upper range is abit muddy ... well compared to what it used to be ...

I'm gonna use the honda factory mp3 player bracket to fit the HU in
