Hi Gurus,
I recently installed the following:
Pioneer DVH-3190UB
Front Pioneer TS series round speakers
Rear - 689 JBL GTO 947.

As I drive, I find that I hear the music mostly from the rear and hardly think the front speakers are on... I can feel the vibration of the speakers but not the sound. Is this how it is, or can i change some settings...If so what will be the ideal setting for me at the drivers seat.

which car is it?
and what is the model(or diameter) of the front speakers?
Have you installed the 947s on a tray(MDF/PLY)?

Did you try the "fade" option settings.
You might find a setting which matches your listening taste.

Typically the after market personals keeps the speakers at the rear at a higher level (Mine is kept at -3, where in ranges from +5 (more power to the front) to -5 (max power to the rear speakers)) as mine is a 400W at rear and 120 w at the front.

Avoids the speakers blurring even with high sound. the rear speakers are taking in more power than the front

A bit of both. While most 6x9s do have higher ratings than 6" coax speakers the real difference comes fromt he fact that the 6x9s are mounted on a MDF tray with a huge hatch as a box while the 6" coax in the doors only have the door volume as a box. Within certain limitations (which we wont go into here) a speaker put in a larger box will sound louder.

Add to that the larger woofer of the 6x9 (a 6x9's woofer is on par with a 8" woofer - which means the 6x9s woofer has 33% more cone area than a 6"'s woofer - which means the cone has to move less to move the same ammount of air) means that a 6x9 mounted in the rear MDF deck can go significnantly louder than a 6" coax in the front door.
