New CDT door speakers not as loud as stock ones? Install issue?
So I was quoted 60$ PER PAIR of speakers installed in my Camaro by a well known huge local car audio shop here. That price made me decide I'd atleast attempt to do the sail panels and rear hatch speakers myself and just pay them 60$ for the doors. I removed the hatch and sail panel speakers and for the past 2 days I've been listening to just the stock door speakers while I waited for my appointment today.
After the install, the speakers don't sound as loud as the stock ones they removed. The lower range bass sound is definitely gone. But I'm also judging off of just the door speakers. The sail panel subs and hatch speakers still arent installed. What worries me though is I know shops are notorious for installing component speakers incorrectly because of the Monsoon amp. Is that a possibility here? They also could have just changed some settings on my head unit. Or maybe I'm just paying too much attention. Is there a way to verify proper installation without removing the speakers?

So if these speakers arent as loud as the stock ones removed and dont seem to have the low range my other stock ones did, it sounds like they definitely wired something wrong?
The frustrating thing is I was watching the install but when one guy heard my car, he pulled me into his office at the front of the building to discuss possibly purchasing the head/cam combo the car has now since hes looking to build a track car. It is immensely frustrating to hand out money to a well known place here and still have them **** it up so now I have to take more time off work to go back there and worry about them possibly trying to blame the speakers or the amp. I just wanted to check with you guys to see if it actually sounded like there was an issue. You'd expect the CDTs to sound at least as good as the ones removed though 'loudness' can be a poor metric.
