Unhappy with the sound quality of my install. Where can I improve it? Wiring?

[QUOTE="Blake Vandercar, post: 8676469, member: 677153"] Yup was considering getting a 75W amp for all those reasons. Ended up trying out the 100W Pioneer one you recommended. Sounds good so far, but I still definitely need EQing to boost the lows and/or reduce the highs— turning up the volume gives me the lows I want, so I know they’re *there*, which is good.. but the tweeters at that volume are unbearable. Also, bridging the inputs results in no tweeter hiss! So you were right. So I now know that the hiss is coming from somewhere before the amp in the signal chain— hopefully from the audiocontrol LOC and not the HU.. we’ll see if the Dayton DAP fixes that! Theres still a super high “dog whistle” frequency noise near 20k though. Barely noticeable, but could lead to like, subconscious headaches. At some point I’ll probably put a value-calculated capacitor across the tweeter to filter this out. [/QUOTE]
