bass blockers may help the problem if indeed your speakers cannot handle the bass

and they are cheap

Well, dont really wanna "block" any bass....

Their solution was to install a sub and an amp. Let the sub handle all the bass, and let the remainder of the system do the rest.....???

OR

My solution.....never ever let my son play that damned rap BS in my car again!!!!

This will only block the bass your speakers cannot play anyway and will clean up the sound

adding a sub wil help but you still do not want your speakers trying to play sounds that they cannot play

Thanks for the education on blockers.

Adding a sub isnt really something I wanna do, so, will look into the blockers.

Does this sound right, or what??

Thanks

I have no problems with the factory speakers in my focus. No matter what type of music I listen to. I think the Mach 460 systems are defective.

Now that I think about it, I've never really been happy with the system in my car either. I just don't drive it enough that I think about it much. The Mach 460 does crap out on the low end pretty bad. Heavy bass sounds sort of like a fart echoing in the toilet.
