Rockford Fosgate 'Soundstage'
I thought about that. Whether it's intentional for the driver. But then i thought more likely maybe one of the speaker is messed up on the right rear. So want to see what others are like. RF non navi system

After sitting in the rear, im almost positive that the soundstage hat remains even is purposely biased for the driver. The rear definitely has a right bias that remains even as you move you head towards the front. In fact, keeping my head in the middle even on the front produces a right bias. Only after returning to the drivers seat did everything sound kizashi normal.
so ur saying you can replicate my issue of right rear speaker > left rear speaker experience? Wow that's more comforting to hear. I thought I just have another thing that went broke on me on this car...SamirD wrote:After sitting in the rear, im almost positive that the soundstage hat remains even is purposely biased for the driver.

That's because AM radio has a limited frequency response to 5kHz, if I'm not mistaken. So pretty much all of the high-frequency sound content (especially with newer commercial music) gets rolled-off, so music ends up having a very muffled sound on AM. In comparison, your typical 128kbps mp3 file rolls of at 16kHz (and FM broadcasts up to 15kHz). Also, AM transmits in mono, whereas FM is in stereo--so you don't get the panning information that adds to the depth in the music you're listening to.KuroNekko wrote:In my opinion, AM is really intended for talk radio. Music sounds horrible on AM and most AM stations are either political, religious, or sports talk show stations.
I just discovered that a trunk full of tires, a tool box and other solid items really amps up the bass. Like two to three times normal on the same song.
