Audio upgrade ideas?

[tahoebrian5]

Anyone have a good source to point me in the right direction?

The Harmon Kardon system sounds like crap. I’m hearing distortion even at very moderate volumes. I’m not sure if it’s the amp or speakers but something needs to change. Also only having a 3 band eq is ridiculous for a so called high end audio system. I’d rather have 4 good speakers and nice amp than the dozens of crappy ones that come stock. Must be marketing bs!

Anyway, I’m not even sure where to start other than bringing the truck to an audio shop. Would rather do some research first though.

Really hope that’s just your speakers . Audio wasn’t the first mod I wanted to do.

Man that doesn’t sound right, no pun intended. I’d have that checked out. The HK system is the opposite of a bad stereo system.

I agree, Every car that I’ve had that had HK was a great sound.

That was the case before stellantis decided to cheap out. I have heared this on both fourms now..

Someone here was gonna tey to compare HK on the 25s vs older models.

I can’t tell the difference between my RHO and my 2020 Rebel. But I’m no audiophile. It’s all lost on me. I bought this because it’s a kick-ass fast truck, not to listen to Mozart or Britney Spears or whatever. As long Hair Nation comes through on the Sirius satellite radio, I’m good to go!!

I’m all about Ozzy’s bone yard
I’m going to let the speakers break in a bit but not holding too much hope. The low mids sound congested and distorted and the low end is struggling at low volumes even. I’m a musician so might be a bit pickier than some thought. I’m thinking try to replace the mid woofers only with speakers of close impedance and sensitivity and see what happens.
