Bourney67 7 Report post Posted October 11, 2020 Are everyone else's stock rear speakers rubbish? I've got a 68 plate if that makes any difference ..... I've gone onto settings and tried adjusting the fade , you have to have it on full rear just to hear them and have the volume set at around 30 if that makes sense. Is everyone else's the same?

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted October 11, 2020 They are rubbish. Better not to use them. You don't need rear speakers in such a small cabin. I had all my ICE replaced just after I bought my car. Rear speakers were disconnected. Best thing for them. 1 Bourney67 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartinT 514 Report post Posted October 11, 2020 Total rubbish. I just set the front/rear fader to front-only to save wasting any power into them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 37 Report post Posted October 11, 2020 Besides a car enthusiast, I'm also a hobby musician. Mainly playing the bass guitar, my ears are trained to pick out the low frequencies. Imagine the shock and horror when I heard the car stereo for the first time. On the other hand, Toyota/Subaru offer a fun car, designed for the active driver, at a fair price. The money went where it should have gone, into the chassis and drive train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 193 Report post Posted October 12, 2020 They certainly did put the money in the right place. It’s suggested to upgrade the front speakers and simply ignore or disconnect the rears as they’re only 10cm 4inch one way speakers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
