I just bought an 04 GT Convertible and noticed there's something funky going on with the Mach 460 system. I noticed it because I heard muddy bass response from the back of the car. It bacame obvoius when fading between the front and back speakers. The front speakers appear to be fine (if not a bit Treble heavy), but the rears are super muddy sounding, as if they are both blown. I have yet to take it in for a warranty visit 'cause I'd like to feel confident in what might be the problem before I go in. Would it be the speakers or the power amp that's gone? Any help would be appeciated

I think they just suck

I have the Mach 1000 system but I can turn the subs off and fade the intereior speakers to the rear so all I am hearing is the rear side panel full range speakers. When I do this, those speakers sound like crap. Very low and muddy. I just leave the subs on and fade the rest of the speakers more towards the front ones. Sounds better this way. I put the fader 3/4 towards the front speakers. Sounds best this way to me. I think the rears are just crappy, don't know why they could not spend 5 more bucks for better ones but oh well. I just thought I would pass that on. Mine sound like crap also.

What are you comparing the sound too? If you had an aftermarket system in your old car,any factory bass is going to sound muddy after that. A blown speaker will typically make a buzzing or rattling sound.

I had a 98 GT Convertible with the exact same system in it (at least it was a Mach 460), but its sound was clear. This system sounds like mud, just like cvgtpony03 describes (fade the interior speakers to the rear so all I am hearing is the rear side panel full range speakers. When I do this, those speakers sound like crap. Very low and muddy).

I just wondered if this is a common problem. As stated in my initial post, I just bought the car and am looking to put my money into performance, not sound. Hopefully the dealer will come up with a fix
