I installed new Pioneer 3-way speakers into my Maxima(front only) and found out that stock ones were louder and olmost the same sound and new Pioneer.
Why?
Did I connect them wrong?

Thank you.

 

give them more power with an amp

 

I actually don't want to have more power, my setreo can handle 200W: 4x50 and it's enough for me. My concern is that new pioneer 3-way almost the quality sound as stock panasonic(BTW made in Japan) speakers. May be I should stay with stock speakers, however they are only 15W.
Does somebody know how to find out polarity of stock speakers?
On rear deck I have white and blue wire for the speaker. Which one is + and -?

Thanks a lot.

 

First of all your stereo does not put out 200 watts. Thats a Bullsh_t statement that manufacturers use on headunits. Its more like 40 or 50 watts. About 10 12 watts per speaker. Your stock speakers were louder b/c they were rated at 15 watts and were more efficient that the ones you bought. You probably need about 40 or 50 watts to those pioneers to get them sounding good. Even and amp thats rated at 25 watts per channel will make them louder and clearer than your headunit. Hope this helps.
