[QUOTE="relay, post: 1227156, member: 552306"] audiolife, actually, the tweeters are VERY lifeless off the glass. In no way could they be described bright the way they are working right now. This is part of my complaint. There is nothing there at all. I thought perhaps it is the way I set something up. Gsteg: Very good idea. Imaging is all messed up without time alignement right. I was carefull to keep the lengths of all the speaker cables the same but my position in the vehicle is not in the middle is it. I am using crappy factory headunit right now because it is so integrated into the car. If I need to change it out then I will be sure to find something with time alignment. Intercooler: I think they are rated 60 to 130 watts. The JL amp is 75W/chan. It does not seem like a power issue to me though. It sounds crappy even at low and midrange volume. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I am going to try changing a few things around. I'll try some phasing things first and if that does not work I think I am going to upgrade to a different pair of speakers. My budget is basically whatever it costs to achieve an enjoyable audio system. Not the best, just enjoyable. If I can't do that with a reasonable budget I will simply forget about audio in the car for now and get rid of what I bought. [/QUOTE]
