car stereo problem!!

so i thought i'd blown my rear speakers 6x9's - as they sounded well off.

I bought a new pair and stuck them in. Now these are new 6x9 meant to be very bassy and the like.

They sound extremely tinny. On messing about with the settings, if i alter the balance and the fade so that all the output is going to one rear speaker it sounds OK - ish.

i'm therefore wondering if it's a problem with the actual head unit (a 3year old Sony Mp3 unit)

any thoughts?

i tried switching it round so positive was negative, and vice versa = no change

strangely the speakers in the front sound normal, loud and bassy.

no amp - just the head unit - a sony with a 50w p/c MOSFET

fiddled again - it's all fine - though the speakers aren't amazing!
