[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8874503, member: 611804"] The dsp can eq down the bright tweeters but with the factory tweeters being tied to the woofers it is quite difficult to get a properly imaged sound stage since time aligning one driver affects the other. Same with eq. You may decide you need to cut 4500hz on the tweeters but cutting will also cut the same range from the midbass. Honestly if the tweeters are overly bright I'd suggest swapping them with a silk dome of some sort. Or you could swap the polarity of the passenger side to tone them down through cancelation. A dsp amp is a great investment. But they are typically expensive. The alpine optim8 is one that seems to be performing well and if you reran each speak wire from driver to amp you could gain individual speaker control without swapping speakers. Since it is an 8 channel dsp amp you could use ch 1,2 for tweeters, 3,4 for midbass, 5,6 for rears, and 7,8 you can run to each coil on a dual voice coil sub assuming it was a relatively low power sub. An adire koda would be a contender, or an alpine type s or jl w3 just to name a few. There are plenty of options in car audio nut typically the really cheap ones aren't going to impress and you usually end up swapping them in the long term [/QUOTE]
