[QUOTE="mr_naler, post: 8221968, member: 655823"] I have been going back and forth about what I want to do with my front speakers/amps. The Precision Power 3-way passive set up seemed good, but I am not sure that is the best for what I am wanting. I currently have a Rockford P400-4 powering JBL GTO 5x7 component speakers. The speakers were easy to install and sound decent honestly. Much improved over the 15 year old factory system anyhow. The tweeters are a bit too bright for me, though I haven't tried EQing extensively. The midrange is what is lacking the most. The vocals aren't as warm as I would hope. I listen to a lot of trap, rap, and dubstep but I also listen to Florence + The Machine and Explosions in the Sky. In those types of music the vocals and the detail in the high end is lost. I have looked into using raw drivers and running an active 3-way set with the Pioneer PRS80, but it seems like it will end up being more trouble than it's worth being that I have 0 experience with 3-way set ups anyhow. Would a decent set of 3-ways passive (Focal Access/Precision Power) remedy this? Will I need an EQ? Will I need a better HU (current is Kenwwod KDC-493)? What other advise can be given on how to work a 3 way set up work for my installation? [/QUOTE]
