[QUOTE="Califmike33, post: 8812397, member: 686176"] Hey I really really appreciate your time and input I want you to know that. Here's what I think I'm finding out I just hooked up my phone again directly to the amp on just the front speakers and tweeters nothing in the rear not using the head unit at all. I can tell you it definitely sounds better because I compared songs a&b head unit phone head unit phone the phone sounds better the sound is cleaner more defined. I'm just going to take a wild guess let me put it this way even coming out of my phone now it sounds better but it's not up to what I want I want audio file sound. I think the jbl's are the weak point the speakers not the amp I think the amp is good I think the JBL speakers that I have in my doors are just mediocre speakers I don't think they're really good I bet you if I upgraded to something like audio frogs or focal higher end ones I bet there would be a pronounced difference and I agree with you on aiming the tweeters at me will make a pronounced difference. I never knew it would be this difficult to get really good car audio home audio is so simple car audio is way more complicated. So let me ask you a question given what I've told you what would be your next step for me would it be to turn those tweeters towards me and see what that does? Would it be get rid of the jbls and get something higher end for the speakers? I really don't know what to do to be honest I'm just trying to eliminate stuff why I'm not getting good sound and if I keep to JBL speakers I'm going to be putting a 3/4 inch piece of plywood on the door always kind of wondered why I saw that in people's photos of them doing that I will be mounting a 3/4 inch piece of plywood on my door to cut down the vibrations and help with the sound and get it closer to the grill which I fully understand you're not leaking sound back into the door makes perfect sense what I got to do is try to figure out how much space I have between the front of the speaker and the grill and put a piece of wood or a spacer according to what space is available. So there are so many ways I can go I can get rid of the JBL amp and sell it and the money I would have to spend on a subwoofer amp I could just combine the cash and get a 5-channel amp it'll do everything all in one package that's an option. I don't know you have a lot of audio experience I can tell just tell me what from what I've told you I know you can't see what I have you can't hear it but based on what I've told you what would be your next step for me?
