It seems that my left front speaker is not as loud as my right front speaker. Any idea why this is. I have not check the speaker polarity, but would that even be an issue?? I am also using the stock radio with a LOC, but all of the levels are set evenly. Is it possible that the speaker is messed up?? It worked just fine in my other car. Or am I just crazy?? Please advise. I have a 2005 Accord DL with Infinity reference coaxials.

 

It's because your left leg is muffling the sound. If you wire one of the front speakers out of phase, it will actually help the sound imaging. That trick is fromMacleod's grandpappy!

 

Music isnt recorded on both channels equally. Some images are left of center and some are right of center. Guitars and such and even some vocals are usually right of center which would mean theyre coming out of the right speaker louder. Assuming all the levels, balance and wiring is correct - it may just be your imagination.

Also remember that since the right speaker is more on axis than the left speaker, youre going to get the higher frequencies at a much higher level of intensity from the right. The higher the frequency, the more directional it becomes which means the further you go off axis from it, the quieter if becomes.
