Ha ha, i'm curious, who voted "No Nothing at all"

Now I am no expert on SQ but I can quite definitively say that your system in no way represents an SQ system. First of all a very important feature of car audio is for it to sound its best when you are sitting in the front of the car because that is generally where you spend most of your time, not standing behind it.
Is that JL amp supposed to be the e2150? cos that is the model I have, it is quite a nice amp and I will recomend it to anyone. If you take the advice of the people on this forum, I am quite certain that even with the gear you have, which isnt all that bad, you could get a much better sound.
Installation is the key. Move the splits to the front doors, add some sound deadening, Oh and get rid of the strobo!

no my amp is the JL A2150, full range stereo amplifer.

the strobo is now gone .. but like i said up there ^^ i now have my cadence UD15 in its huge box.

and if you were in my position you really wouldnt want to change the position of the splits. there would be an annoying amount of screwing around cutting things, filling other things, etc etc that i just do not have the time for at the moment. and also with the acoustics in my car there, IMO, wouldnt be much of a difference in the sound of the splits

i gave it 1, mainly from your remark that it sounds good standing behind the car! "screwing around cutting things, filling other things, etc etc" is what you have to do if you want your car to be worthy of any sound quality at all, i have 4inch in the front and they are shocking. to me sound quality is from the front stage, not smacking into the back of your head, anyway just my opinion

sound quality relates alot to CAASQ in terms of what we would call good SQ

if you want your car to sound good from the back.....i would move your posts to the general section and/or SPL section

Agreed. Cars are pretty bad as a basis for a good sounding stereo so you need to put the effort into installation if you want it to sound good. It may sound fine to you now, but I guarantee you will be blown away if you can take the time to set it up properly. I have owned cars with just a headunit and rear 6x9s in the past and the difference with a good front stage is like night and day.

Care to elaborate why you like to stand behind you car with the doors open and the music playing? Most people use their cars for driving, and usually sit in the front.

I gave it a 1 aswell. however if your happy with the way things sound then leave it and leave this site coz we WILL hurt your wallet! lol

i voted one as for sq ive had plenty of cars that have had 4" in the front and ... as said above it's like night and day , now im not as experienced as others on here ive asked for plenty of help , you said you want loud and clear up front is the winner ,, but it all depends when you have the time ,, when you do i suggest you ask around the installation section
