A couple of months ago I ended up purchasing a completely new sound system for my car.

I ended up deciding on:

Front Stage - Focal PolyGlass V1 6.5" splits

Rear Stage - Focal PolyGlass V1 689 Coaxils

Speaker amp - Eclipse EA4000

Sub - Eclipse SW6200 12"

Sub Amp - Eclipse XA1000

Source - JVC KD-AVX11

Well I have my install was finally completed and all the components now sit snuggly in my car.

It is all very nice - but definatly requires some major tweaking. I know it has much more potenial

I can blatenly say that the tweeters are veeery harsh, not saying that they are bad speakers - just incredibly harsh. And after 10 mins my ears are bleeding - then after 10 mins of my ears bleeding the music must go down wink.gif It is alll going great - that is, until the snare drum hits. However, there is already a thread about trying to get rid of the harshness, so I will not ask for help ith this, simply merely agreeing.

I am considering purchasing new tweets, simply because - well I can - and I don't so much like the surrent ones. Would this be applicable - or would i be better off buying new speakers all togther?

I am currently running the system Passive - and plan to go active soon enough, hoping that this will provide a nice improvement to the overall system.

Atm, (simply because my RCA limits it) the system is running in Mono - and one day I plan to change this to sterio, but I thought (perhaphs not) that I read somewhere that it is better - SQ wise anyway to run in Monophonic over stereio. I (think) i don't have imaging because of this.

I also seem to have major issues with stage width - I was wondering if I should/could purchase a TA for the system to help increase witdh and help the system to blend better overall.

Also, i know that I should sell the rears tongue.gif - they are faded out as much as possible (which is not much because my gains are set quite low anyway, and again because I run the system in mono - fading it on the Headdeck just goes side to side instead of front to back)

Bascially - my system is ok, goes loud and all that. But none of that really concerns me as much as making the system sound incredible. I wish to jump in and feel sounds from all angles - but it feels very narrow atm and sound is coming from everywhere (well i did get my bass to appear infront of me biggrin.gif)

And lastly, I have NO midbass. Seriously - none at all, not even while parked, I hope that when I sound deaden the doors and install the speakers better tat this will fix (some of) the problem.

Thanks in advance guys,

Ace
