I've checked out most of the threads, and as a noob with speaker stuff, my easiest solution right now is to pay for a shop to do it. Howeverthis is coming out DSR1 - 8-Channel Interactive Signal Processor w/ Integrated iDatalink Maestro Module | Rockford Fosgate® and it should make things much easier.

OK........so.........purchased the AA Ford amp from a Taurus and had it installed. While I was at it, I had the place install a set of MTW component speakers in the front. They weren't cheap.

So now clearly I have a lot more volume BUT, damn if the highs aren't tinny at high volume and they are tinny in the front speakers!! WTF??!! Not crisp.........its like the upper mid notes and voices and cymbals hang on in the mix. BUT at the same time, the new front speakers do seem to have a lot more depth and provide nice lower end notes. When I screw around with the equalizer, on the treble and mids, don't seem to have the control I had with the stock set-up when turning the settings down.

Anyway..............not happy........on some recordings it works nice but seems on most of the CD stuff, the highs are irritating at anything over 3/4 volume sucks.......I tried fading to the back but then I lose some clarity.

Any idea's for a fix?

My focal's took about 40 hours to break in. They were pretty tinny tbh for a bit and I wasn't sure if I would really be happy for the money I spent. Now 1200 hours later I love the system and they sound great. So maybe it will just take some break in time? Or maybe they just aren't what you were expecting, maybe search for the speakers and break in period? I'm not a pro but figured I'd toss that out there.
