I have fitted Phoenix Gold speakers into original housing, twice the price of Infinity but great sound

look on the ls1gto forums for loads of good advice on aftermarket speakers, amps and head units.

just had a root about in the car - the rears are alpines with amp etc - perhaps its just the head unit which is pants? really does sound bad :-(

A few years back I fited an ICE set-up with CERWIN-VEGA speakers all round, the sound was rediculous. Those CV sub woofers were brutal. Not sure if CV still market their gear or not, but I think it added to my tinnitus problem.

Wasn't there a recent post about getting to the amp behind the fire extinguisher and turning the dial????

Got to the amp adjusting dial behind steel panel, which is behind n/s/r boot interior trim. Use your left hand.
A slight improvement when turning towards max. But as the man says, still pants
