I installed new Boston Acoustic speakers in my Civic in the back, and they sound horrible. The factory speakers were much better - better clarity, louder, more bass. Did I do something wrong?
FYI - I'm using the stock receiver.

factory stereos are designed for that car.if you up grade your speakers the factory stereo now does not have what it takes to drive the speakers properly.fix......add a small amp or upgrade to a aftermarket deck.no matter what you new speakers will sound like sh@@%$@%@5 till you do.

Some Boston Acoustics speakers have a 3Ohm impedance (check your manual). Most speakers are 4Ohm.
This means your stock HU is being pushed WAY too far and it distorting.
Your radio needs to be replaced with an aftermarket one. Or you could simply get a 50wrms x 2@4Ohm 2channel amp for them.
Good Luck!

audio equipment and Head gadgets which got here with the motor vehicle are regularly sized and paired for another. manufacturers try this to max out the low indicators which you get from the inventory head gadgets. you are going to be able to locate your new audio equipment are too a lot to your head gadgets to handle. those clips ought to the two be capacitors/ferrite cores. Ferrite cores are used to shrink interference from RFI that's generated via the alternator. you need to purchase those from any stable electronics save. yet then your connection with 'clips' is slightly obscure. If I have been you, i could substitute the top unit first. changing the source provides significant advancements somewhat than the attitude of transport.

the fact you are using a stock receiver could be it, you need to put more power into your speakers to make them sound better.

some cars have built in amps for speakers somewhere in the body; some recievers only work with certain speakers; i always ran new speaker wire from the head unit to the speakers myself...

1.Make sure that you don't have your neg- and +positive cross,that makes a big difference.
2. If it's not mounted right it will sound horrible,so check that too
