Hi – looking for some setup advice. I have a 1974 Triumph Stag and want good clarity, balanced sound while being discreet. I’ve lived with my first effort long enough and it’s wrong:
[SIZE=11pt] [/SIZE]
Two tweeters behind swivel air vents either side of the dash
Two 4” in the centre of the dash pointing up (this was original place for a single speaker)
Two 6” mounted under the dash pointing down into each footwell
Active sub in the soft top storage area
Speakers powered by Alpine head unit with good power (I’ll find out the spec and post later)
[SIZE=11pt] [/SIZE]
I was advised this would be a good result, and I was utilising some Bose speakers from an Audi A8 so was cheap too. However it sounds either too high frequency (even with the sub on full) or if I put more into the 6”, it’s too low. I rebuilt the whole car a few years ago and this in now the only thing letting it down, please help!
[SIZE=11pt] [/SIZE]
I’m thinking bin the current speakers, and maybe have a different combination, but would an amp be better? The head unit does seem to have enough to drive them so I thought the issue was more position/type of speaker.

Cheers
