    "...just 'cause I having a feeling this system has never played any music in it's lifetime..."
    And when it plays, it sounded like an alarm clock radio!

    Those are some high quality speakers compared to what all the schools busses i used to ride that were from the 90’s. Many pops and crackles from those. Get half a dozen people on there and boom suddenly no one can hear the radio

    I thought they sounded pretty good. I could hear decent bass just from the poor thing just sitting there. Imagine if was installed in a matched enclosure. Of course the "chrome dome" dust cover was acting like a cheap tweeter to boost the voice quality. I'm sure they sounded pretty tinney in the bus due to zero space behind the speaker. Nice.

      Is it a TV speaker or out of something? It might be a high resistance driver 16 ohms or more, Check out your signal path and be sure everything is cranked, What hurts the speakers is distortion so you need to get as dirty of a signal as you can make.... there is a free app called Equalizer APO for windows where you can pre amp your sound card and apply some EQ or websites for frequency generators as well as phone apps
