How to increase SQ?

[Mynameismcgyver 10+ year member]

I have everything listed in my sig. Off the top of my head I really don't know what to do to increase my SQ. I was thinking the only thing left (staying with the same sub/box) is a Cap. Any suggestions welcome.

you seem to have an odd speaker setup. 3 tweeters? drop all these speaker and get a nice set of components

yep the 3 tweeters are in the dash. I got a set of Pioneer Rev comps on the way.

go with image dynamic if you want strict SQ. Then get a nice set of components. Stage and install the components correctly and power them to their full potential. Should be better than what you got going on

Gotcha. I think I have to deaden the doors up so the comps sound good. Got plenty of power going to them.

the rev's are decent. deaden the door and install just the comps

Install them, and use a good reference disc to see where your stage is.

If the stage height is too low, you may need to play with tweeter mounting...same goes if the stage depth is too shallow.

Check out the Sound Deadening tutorial on this forum, it's an excellent resource.

Buy new speakers/sub that sound better to you, seriously.

I "assume" that you're not happy with the sound produced by what you have: tweeters are flat or harsh, mids lacking punch, bass muddy, etc...

I didn't interpret your question as a stage height, imaging, etc... issue as you didn't ask that specifically.

Perhaps you could clarify for us.
