    Hello,

    Yesterday I replaced the front door and dash speakers with JL Audio C3-600 components. I have an aftermarket KENWOOD head unit. I Will post the specific model in a few when I get out to my truck.

    Anyways, now when I get calls or the Nav audio comes through, the sound is terrible as it only comes through the dash tweeters. I’ve messed with all the settings in the head unit to no avail.

    The speakers sound awesome for music, but the speech audio is terrible.

    I had a shop install the speakers and yes they installed the included crossovers.

    I’m not sure if they somehow wired it wrong or what.

    thanks for your help.

    Who installed the Kenwood?

    IDK why I think this but... Onboard Carplay sounds might only come through Front, and somehow your front woofers are wired to the rear channel? I can't make out how music would sound fine but Nav and notifications only go through the dash otherwise.

    You should be able to play with Balance/Fade and see what speakers are wired to which stereo outputs.

    Turned out to be a bad tweeter. Crutchfield is replacing it.
