jkeaton Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Have great bass in mine. All stock. Search around. There are quite a lot of members who have upgraded their factory speakers. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcaliber81 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Not sure I want to upgrade the speakers on such a new vehicle dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcaliber81 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Actually I read a post where the satellite signal makes it sound worse is it true? I've yet to put a cd in or USB audio I guess I'll have to try that. I got a 1 year subscription to sirius xm Edited October 4, 2015 by xcaliber81 dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kech Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yes, the sound is degraded when satellite radio is selected, but all other sources sound great. As far as the bass, have you increased the bass in the settings? It does make a huge difference. I too have the Alpine upgrade and I find it sounds quite nice. Hope this info helps... dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcaliber81 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yep bass was already set to half way before I bought the car. It had 22 kms on the odo dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kech Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yep bass was already set to half way before I bought the car. It had 22 kms on the odo As stated previously, when I listen to satellite music the bass is auful. I like a lot of bass too so that's why I have my bass level set to max. No problem listening to FM, CD, or USB Flash Drive except in lower volumes. This was a "No Charge" upgrade when I bought mine in July. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 There are quite a few posts criticising the quality of the 'premium sound' system. Neither of my Journeys came with it and they sound darned good the way they are, so I'm happy. It wasn't a 'no charge option', by the way (nothing is 'no charge', but was included as part of an package in your vehicle. I don't listen to the SiriusXM source much except for Jazz and Blues and even then only rarely because the selections they play often suck. It doesn't help that all of their announcers are sooooooo bad - and Cousin Brucey needs to retire 10 years ago - he must be 80 years old and has no place on the dial any more.Having critiqued the content I will say that I find that the acoustic balance of the satellite music is 'limited' and 'flat', further reducing my enjoyment of the service. So I have an iPod in the armrest loaded with 5,000 songs and I often listen to a news/talk radio channel on AM, but FM certainly sounds excellent when I tune to a station on that band. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Kicker makes an under seat sub for single cab pick up trucks. It is in a ported box, similar to the Bose Radios and fit with plenty of room under my seat. It has a remote gain dial, and I have to keep it at I mark below 1/2, or it hurts my ears. I had the standard crap system and replaced all of my speakers with 2-way 6x9 Alpines. For the dash, I substituted Alpine Tweeters with built in crossovers. The sub is wired between the radio and the Alpine amp I installed. I have a thread on the forum with all the items I used. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Mine has great bass... may be the JL Audio sub I have mounted in the rear cargo storage area though. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
