Default Poor sounding stereo

I have an '05 xjr. When i drive, the subs don't sound loud at all...I can't even hear them, and it sounds like the bass comes out of the speakers in the top of the dash. I also don't hear much audio from the back seats. The audio isn't horrendous, but it's a lot worse than what I'd expect from what was a 100k car.

Does the system just sound like that, or could it be that someone wired the stereo incorrectly? When I hit "mode" on the cd player and boost up the subs, I hear no difference.

The system in my 1998 xjr was excellent...and i'm really disappointed in this stereo.

Any thoughts?

Thanks-David

try disconnecting your battery for 1min and see if it works better. voltage play a big roll with anything weird that the car does.

Drog,

I noticed a similar situation on my 05 XJR. I discovered that you really have to crank up the Bass to get good sub woffer thru to radio. The CD player doesn't need so much. Go figure.
