There's a really good chance that it's because you installed the speakers in
the back. Rear speakers do terrible numbers for sound staging in most cars
that I've heard. If I were you, I would disconnect the rear speakers that
you installed, but another amp that is capable of powering your sub, or just
run your components off of your head unit (probably provides enough power
for them), and amp your sub again. Just give it a try... visit
www.caraudioforum.com and ask some really knowledgeable car audio folks the
same thing, and I bet most of them tell you to take the rear speakers out of
the picture. That should help, and then think about getting some mid bass
drivers to install in the deck separating your rear seat from the trunk.
That would be my suggestion. Once again, rear speakers fubar your front
sound stage. When music is recorded, it is recorded to sound like you are
looking at a band. Most bands do not have performers in front of you and
behind you, which is why most concerts you go to will not have speakers
behind you, but walls in front of you. This is for stereo imaging. Sound
is mixed to sound good from one direction.
