Anyone any suggestions to why my radio is very tinny with no bass, all the speakers sound the same so its not them, could it be wired up wrong?? Help plz its embarrasing!!

 

what model is the car/year and what not? saabs dont have alot of base..but it sounds good

 

Its a 93 arctic, 52reg (new shape)

 

well if its a 08 im not sure that is the new style..but 03-07 is the same..i have a 03' and my style the radio isnt too tiny..itsa huge box with the infotainment screen...the base isnt big big but u can get a adapter from your local saab dealer and hook up subs/amp/capacitor to your regular hook up...or if you dont mind spending money u can do what im opting for...next monday my local car stereo place is putting a head unit in it (jensen flip up dvd/nav) but this is extremely hard b/c they will have to make a custon dash kit for it and harness...and the antenna is digital and their tryin to make it into coaxial...its gonna take 3 days to complete but from then on ill have my headunit with subs/amp and all of that right their in a easy control..and b able to watch movies..whats not to like???but this is gonna cost me 400-700 to install...as for wiring being hooked up wrong i doubt it unless its really really soft like you cant hear the stereo while driving

 

I think MJW69 meant it sounds like tin. tinny. Am I wrong??? If there were speakers put into it the polaritys could be wrong. make sure the + wire goes to the + terminal of the speaker. etc etc

 

well yea if he means like as in when the stereo is turned up to high volume its not very loud...like it should be...maybe he just has the treble turned all the way down?im not EXACTLY sure what the problem is

 

Thanks to all replies.
Yes I have the Bass set on max, and treble almost minimum, I am not that stupid!!
I have had cars for over 20 years and this must be the most dire radio ever!!
So there must be some underlying problem????
The last owner had a hands free kit for his mobile, could that have any influence if it was taken out wrong and thewiring interferred with?

 

that might have something to do with it..im not completely sure though..never seen anything like this before...sorry
