Front component speakers

Due to where you are sitting, the passenger side speaker can sound "louder" than the drivers side. When you are sitting in the drivers seat your leg is right next to the speaker causing it to muffle the sound. If you want to confirm that they sound different then lean ove rhte center console from the back seat and listen. If they still sound different then you have to think about your set-up. What type of speakers did you install? Are they running off the stock system or an aftermarket amp.
This is what i have discovered with mine. I went aftermarket amps and speakers because the stock amp could not drive the aftermarket speakers as well as stock because the voice coil resistance was greater on the aftermarket speakers.
I appologize if i do not make any sense and can clarify if needed.

Thank you for your response. I have aftermarker component speaker ( POLK audio) and Uncald4 PnP RF amp. I tested each speaker separately and the front left is definitely sounded weaker/uncleared comparing to the front right. It seem like this is a common problem with this amp. Others with this amp have the same issue.

if the muddled sound changes speakers, then then the problem is with the factory radio/amplifier. If the problem does not change speakers, then the problem is with the amplifier or the wiring going to the new speakers.

That is correct and the troubleshooting method above will allow you to determine if its the amp or the head unit that has a problem

Have you contacted UNCALD4 about this problem? That is where I would start. The gains are simply front and back, so there is no left/right adjustment that could be causing it. You could take a multimeter and measure the voltage at the amp or speaker itself. Hell, you could do that before and after the amp just by crimping a connector on the wires (so you wouldn't be cutting or changing anything) and use a test tone of 1k (I would disconnect the speakers if you do 'cause you would need to crank the volume and don't want to damage the speakers or your ears. Sound to me like a possible problem in the PNP wire harness. I would contact him to discuss.

This would be a first. The passenger side is much further away from you than the drivers side, hence why people time align speakers. The drivers side will always sound louder than the passenger if gains are set correctly and there is no time alignment to compensate for the path length difference.

Sound waves permeate right through your leg with the frequencies the door speakers play. The lower the frequency, the more it will permeate (that is why you hear a plane overhead in your house, or the dud with the mad beets coming down the street). Only a tweeter could really be audibly effected by your leg, and still not enough to shift your sound stage that far.
The problem lies somewhere else.
