So i recently had a local shop upgrade the audio on my honda accord, the problem is the tweeters sound harsh (at least i assume its the tweeters) especially guitars on rock and metal. it's worse obviously as the volume increases. its been back to the shop twice so i think at this point i need a new perspective.
my current set up is:
Factory Radio (no eq) bypassing factory amp to a Wavetech 2ch line driver feedings a Kenwood XR901-5 5ch amp, front/rear ch's bridged to JL Audio C3 components on axis and a boxed sub in the trunk. Rear speakers disconnected. Tweeters are in the factory sail panel location.
The JL x-overs are already set down to -4db so I'm suspecting that its not a db level thats causing the issue. The speakers were checked and are in phase (not sure about acoustical phase). The shop has suggested a sound processor but i don't think i should have to buy more gear just to get this set up listenable at volume. Maybe it needs sound deadening or a new tweeter angle or position? Is possible the tweeter could use more attenuation and needs a resistor?
Not sure if this is any help but I did compare the spectrum with an app comparing the same song on my home receiver 2.0 with the car 2.1 sound:
Thanks in advance for any ideas!s
