[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8544067, member: 650438"] I'd honestly get rid of all of your gear and start new. Get quality drivers, tweets by the A pillars or sail panels, get some pro audio 6.5s and focus all your amp power to a few quality drivers that will sound 10x better and way louder than all your current speakers combined. With what you have it just destroys any hope of a good soundstage with too much sh*t going on and no way to time align the drivers properly. Power split between a lot of drivers is not anywhere as optimal as a fully powered driver. Plus you have major cancellation with tweets everywhere thats why you cant hear anything, all the sound waves are fighting against eachother. Basically getting negative output and negative sound quality. In scientific terms its called phase cancellation and its a real thing. Your head unit's capabilities are near zero, cant expect to achieve any real soundstage with that head unit sorry to say. Start off with a proper head unit like a pioneer 80 prs aka holy grail of head units under 1000$ or even some of the kenwood double dins like the ddx 393 which has time alignment and stage EQ With speakers, get a high sensitivity driver like crescendo UN 6.5s along with a pair of super tweets (if you really like strong highs) if not, then silk domes with at least 92 db sensitivity rating will work fine. Those lanzar tweets are lying about all their specs btw. Not even a real 86 db sensitivity rating. Proper speaker positioning, crossover points, Time alignment and a good EQ is what gives you proper soundstage. Coaxials never belong in this equation. [/QUOTE]
