[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8221998, member: 628688"] Before you change the speakers, you must try to EQ for the response you want to hear. You could be pleasantly surprised. Loss of detail is often caused by poor frequency response, which mainly comes from the close quarters environment bouncing the sound several times before it reaches our ears. The car probably is not helping you get the most out of those woofers. The doors should be sealed around the perimeter of the speaker so the sound is focused through the grille. This can be done with a bit of weather strip foam. Above and beyond that there are several other ways you can treat your doors to act more like a proper speaker enclosure. 3-way active plus a subwoofer is not possible on most head units. Tweeter/mid/sub is easy, but with the CDT MX Designs systems you can combine 4 channels into 2 by running the tweeters and mids on the passive crossovers. Otherwise you need an 8-channel DSP, and the project cost rises sharply. [/QUOTE]
