I decided to upgrade the stock system on my 2003 Honda Accord by installing a 4-channel amp pushing 75rms watts, Infinity Kappas in the rear deck, and Infinity Reference 6030cs components in the front. The back speakers sound great but the problem is, the front speakers sound terrible. Specifically, the tweeters are not just harsh, they have severe sibilance. They cause listening fatigue unlike anything I have every heard. They did this prior to an amp install, and now that they are powered, it is even worse. Even when I turn down the treble, S's and T's are super intrusive when pronounced in song. I really really do not want to use an aftermarket headunit b/c I don't want to lose dual climate control and/or the factory aesthetic, plus I already invested plenty of cash into an aftermarket iPod adapter install. That's my only condition. How can I change my setup to have a natural, accurate, detailed sound??? Can I get away with changing out the components in the front?
