what causes quality speakers(perfects 6.1 components) to sound really harsh, blaring and screachy at high volumes. I can't seem to tune it out on my 3 band parametric equalizer unless I really do some cutting. Just upgraded twice the power(from 75 to 150) and while it does get louder, they still sound so bright. I noticed the midrange frquencies on my eq(500k, 1k, and 2k) are really causing some of the harshness and muddiness. The tweeter is extremely bright even tuned to the lowest setting on the crossover. I thought upgrading the amp to the JL HD600/4 would help and while it does get louder and sound amazing, but at high volume it is too harsh and almost painful to listen to. Is this my speakers you think?? Or just the science of sound?? also its really the worst with rock music and distorted guitars. please help!
