[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8595580, member: 650438"] swap out the head unit. Its not cutting it in sound tuning options. To be honest that head unit model is garbage for actual sound quality. With focal speakers you need at least a 13 band EQ head unit and be able to run active network mode. Clearly the passive crossover of that component set does not fit your vehicle's acoustics so you'll have to ditch that crossover, wire the speakers to the amp directly and control the crossover points where the midrange and tweeter meets through the head unit. Also with your current head unit you only have bass and treble which does absolutely jack sh*t So does swapping out amps. Does absolutely NOTHING. All this is not the speaker's fault and definitely not the amps' fault. Its the head unit's inability to properly tune the speaker. You can throw any other speaker on it and it'll sound like junk as well. All actual sound quality starts from the source. Sh[COLOR=black]itt[/COLOR]y source = s[COLOR=black]hi[/COLOR]t system no matter what you have installed. [/QUOTE]
