Muffled sound from Elevation Speakers

[baurat88]

Wondering if this is normal or not from other R1s owners. Music sounds great from the front row, but as you move further back I cannot hear any of the vocals from music. Seems that vocals only shoot out from the front speakers and not much from the rear or even 3rd row speakers. The rear doors have good highs and some lows, but nothing much in the vocal range. The 3rd row speakers are so weak barely anything comes out of them. My kids are constantly asking me to turn up the sounds when its already loud for me in the driver seat.
ive done all the resets and EQ adjustments for the mids/vocals frequencies.
Have a ticket open to have that checked out amongst other things, but thought I'd reach out and ask. Thanks!

Adjust the F/R fade so that it is centered toward the back of the 2nd row. I've found that to make a huge difference from the factory setting which focused the sound on the front row and sounded horrible.

Yup I have that on now but still crappy sound in the back. No voice at all

Sounds like you may have an actual problem then.

Have u tried putting your ears up to the third row or the 2nd row doors? Wonder if you hear any vocals. Either it's normal or the crossover isn't set correctly

That question directed at me? Sometimes I overlook blocked content but that doesn't appear to be the case here.

I have sound from all speakers as expected.

Try a reset of the vehicle

Sorry yes. I have sound from all of them just sounds echoey. Will add to my service appt. Thanks!

Nothing echoey with mine. It took some time to really get things dialed in but everything sounds as it should. That's not nearly as good as my far more expensive home system but finally what I consider pretty decent. The first month or so of ownership I was pretty disappointed with the system but the fader changed all of that.

Some folks that have been in for service have had an issue fixed where I believe a piece of trim was overlapping certain speaker cones and causing issues. Perhaps that is what you have going on. Regardless, hope you are able to get this resolved to your satisfaction.
