Hmmm... that's odd, to say the least - Cobra & xPlod with a Sony HU in Esteem better than a Pio 7950 with JBLs in a Swift! Normally this is a lemons versus apples comparison. Which JBL speaker models are you using? Your system must be really badly tuned.

@kk28, since you have not mentioned an amp, you must be driving the JBLs from the HU directly.

The jarring is quite likely due to the driving limitation of 7950: at the volume level you are playing, the HU is clipping. Since the JBLs can be driven really loud, perhaps an amplifier will solve the problem.

Difficult to understand what you mean by "sluggish". The bass response (7950 is not THAT bad, nor are the JBLs, in reproducing bass) is dependent on the settings on the 7950, so there can be some scope of improvement there.

What are the settings set in the HU right now?
