[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8592335, member: 650438"] JL is mid level compared to the other options. I'd say focal would be the best bet if you want the best detail in the highs but you'll need proper sound control to tame the tweeters. AKA active head unit with 24 bit dac, 13 band or higher EQ, 3 way active network mode and time alignment. Or an expensive DSP with 31 bands of EQ and everything you can imagine. The sound quality magic happens with the install and tune. Which means proper driver locations, proper angling of the tweeters. Door treatments which includes turning the door into a speaker enclosure, make sure waves dont bounce around in the door panels, treating the rear wave with proper absorbtion, deadening the doors to lower resonance and mass loaded vinyl to block road noise. Making sure things are in proper phase and knowing what to do when its not in proper phase.. That consists of the install. The tune is proper amp settings, proper crossover points if you are going active, a fully detailed EQ curve rebuilt to match the vehicle's acoustics and driver's parameters to really bring out everything your speaker can do sound quality wise. Time alignment builds a proper sound stage. That part is the tune. You cant really slap expensive speakers on and hope they play good, Every speaker setup needs a proper install and tune if you want that next level extreme sound quality. [/QUOTE]
