Hello again,
Well I just got my RF's installed and they sound great. Only problem is it sounds like there is more BASS then actual music and it's a little annoying. I mean I love how they sound but the actual music is low. What can I do about this?? I still have not installed my Pioneers in the front doors yet, will this help any?? Any tips would be much appreciated.

I was also thinking If I got tweeters would this help any? I'm just use to hearing the music more.

Thanks again.

yeah, the pioneers will help for the mid range sound and tweeters will help for the highs. it should sound nice with those. if your still not getting the music you want you may want an amp to go with the speakers and tweeters cuz the head unit will not power the speakers to there full potential.

Also, try playing with your head unit settings, should be a way to lessen some bass or up some higher tones.

get an upgraded speaker besides pioneer and then turn down the bass or gain on the amp.

turn down the gain on ur amp, and play with the bandpass filters on your cd player. it blocks the lower frequencies going to your speakers, thus leaving more power for your mid/high ranges

Okay I will try out all your guys info :)

Another question If I was to get tweeters where would I put them? I'm not good with doing custom work so I would most likely have to take it to a shop to have it done and it will be exspensive. Unless..someone on here can build me something to put tweeters in :P Here is what I might get

I was thinking, what about those gauge pods? lol..Maybe I can use that and just drill a hole in the a pillar and put the pod over that. Then just need to hook them up? I know it's a silly idea but would that work?

those are decent tweets. Basically you can put them anywhere. cut a hole in your door panel and shove them in there.

Yeah those tweets are good ones. I try to get everything with a good name to back it up. I know Polk Audio is one of the best.
Thanks for all your help,
