[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8874365, member: 611804"] The key amp may help your out but the main issue with factory systems is that the tweeters are tied to the midbass without a real crossover. And they more often than not set the tweeter very high 3.5khz typically and let the midbass run up as high as possible. Main problem with this is the lack of midbass because they raise the hpf on the midbass to lower intermodal distortion. You put the bass back and things get muddy quickly especially with the fact that those speakers handle bass poorly. My advice is to get a semi budget set of components and run them active off of the key200.4 and add a small sub system. A single 8 is common for your truck to fill in the lower range. You could even do something super budget like a set of silverflutes playing 80-500hz and a set of faital pro 3inch mids playing 500-20000hz and ditch the tweeter entirely. Most of us can't hear beyond 17khz anyway on a good day I'd also suggest spending a good chunk of money on sound deadening [/QUOTE]
