[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8658753, member: 628688"] Seeing as I've been down this path of adding or replacing amplifiers for more power to see how the sound changes on the same speakers, I can tell you with high confidence Option 1 means you'd spend a lot more money and get little to justify it. You have already been told a very important clue to all of this, which is the tweeters. Not that there is a problem, it's that if you want it louder and maintain the same balance from bass to the top end you're not going to get any more out of the tweeters. It's very unlikely that the tweeters need any "help" with a different amplifier, head unit, or DSP. They're not getting anywhere close to the rated power output of your amplifier with music playing, so giving them a more powerful amplifier is a total waste of money. An approach that adds more speakers is the most logical one. Or you could install pro audio style mid-woofers and bullet tweeters but that is totally counteractive to your apparent preference for good sound. [/QUOTE]
