Answer to why hifi system sounds bad!
So I spent a few hours yesterday replacing all the hifi speakers (2ohm) with the logic 7 speakers (4ohm). What I found was the hifi tweeters are 4ohm. I kept the Hifi tweeters in and just replaced the woofers. Now the output of the tweeters is matching the woofers.
I put in the aluminum dome logic 7 tweeters for a short while but i found them a bit harsh and tinny. Put the textile domes back in. Prior to the woofer replacement, the system sounded really dull and highs were lacking output. But now it really sings.

The HiFi OEM amp is quite decent for a standard OEM amp. The HiFi speakers are a disgrace, though. |

Logic 7 mids are great
HIFI tweeters suck Logic 7 tweeters suck too Ideally you want logic 7 mids with aftermarket tweeters

I think aftermarket tweeters are the next upgrade. Which ones do you recommend. Also, i have the L7 mids crossed @ 170hz do you think that is good?

I believe Technic/vp etc all say around 150-175 I didn't like that at all (back when I had the logic 7 speakers) Problem with 150-170 is the mids sound good, but the I can tell the mid bass is coming from underneath me since the subs have to produce sound up to the same crossover point I had mine set to 90hz between mids and sws-8 But I'd you're giving the speakers, they can't handle such a low crossover point I was only giving them about 50 watts each This is where the MS-8 is great Being able to try different crossover points without getting out of the drivers seat is cool As for tweeters recommendations, not sure I was using very old school tweeters that were made in the 80s or 90s Can't get them anymore

i was just playing with the xover point on the L7s and they sure do sound good. The Hifi would distort under 200hz. The L7s play down to 100hz well. They actually put out some decent midbass, but i am afraid of there power handling with 70w rms. So i put them at 160hz for now.

LOL---I must be deaf. I think my Individual Audio sounds pretty good! CD's sound muddy ( i def hear that), but when the ipod is connected via USB, it sounds pretty damn good.

I didn't. I believe you are correct 2ohms. I was mistaken by the slightly less sensitive L7 mid.

When you say HIFI is that the same as the Enhanced Premium sound that cost $2000? I heard that EPS was the same as the individual sound system and rocks

No. Just make sure the amp is 2ohm capable. Most are.

Hifi is no the same as eps. Hifi is the base m3 system.
