[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8434005, member: 650438"] There's no tuning because nothing can be done. Your source is completely weak, your doors are are most likely not properly treated and turned into a proper speaker enclosure for your door speakers. This is why most of the time aftermarket upgrades only make things worse unless you completely go overboard along with having someone thats competent in their acoustics do the install. Stock speakers have proper seal and baffles along with being geared to work specifically with the stock head unit's EQ curve. What you need is a Digital Signal processor, something that can completely bypass the stock headunit's processing and tune from scratch. The head unit is the brain/central nervous network of your sound system. If its a cheapo stock head unit with 12 bit DAC processors and a predetermined EQ curve, its gonna sound like sh*t no matter what speakers you put in it. You are gonna need something that at least have a 24 bit Digital audio convertor or higher with some time alignment capabilities and EQ capabilities. On the high end, you got helix dsp pro, audison bit one, arc audio ps8, JBL MS-8, rockford 3sixty.3, alpine pxa H800 dsp. On the budget side, you got a ppi DEQ.8, soundstream harmony and mini dsp Also add an amp to your door speakers if you havent already done so. Also, here's a proper speaker install. Look at post [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=10"]#10[/URL] , thats how you properly install aftermarkets and acoustically treat your doors. [URL="http:////forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/608637-2014-accord-sport-sq-build-keep_hope_alive.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/608637-2014-accord-sport-sq-build-keep_hope_alive.html[/URL] Either your installers are just basic and mediocre or they know you just dont have the gear to sound any better because to be honest, you arent gonna get anywhere with a stock headunit alone for processing.
