[QUOTE="AcidicDreams, post: 3133042, member: 558974"] A couple install issues that might be causing problems too: A) extra tweeters.... well if it sounds better then I guess keep 'em B) If the mids are mounted behind a thick door panel, ie the mid is several inches from the grill that allows sound past the door panel, it could be ruining your off axis performance of the mid.... it is nice to see you properly setup the door for the mid installation (VERY few people on here bother, or even know how) but something more custom might be in order. You could use an MDF ring or two to raise the mid up closer to the door panel, or make the grill on the door much bigger (this would be hard to make it look good)..... or there may be something else you can do... C) when determining sound quality DO NOT USE MP3's... you need either uncompressed audio such as FLAC or a good source CD... also remember the higher the recording budget the better the source.... so as much as I despise the human excrement that bono is bands like U2 are going to be better source CD's for determining SQ than say Slayer....
