Front stage doesnt get that loud...anyone else??
So it seems no matter what i try i cant get my front loud enough. Maybe I have some hearing loss from my 2 12's and six speakers from my civic. Has anyone added anything like tweets to the dash or maybe something else like that?? I could run my rear fill but too late for that route plus everyone always says leave it alone anyways. Im running DD comps with a sundown sax125.2 so i have enough power. I wanted to get speakers pods since the sound stage is horrible unless your right in the middle but that would be too much work. I still need to sound deaden the doors so that comes later. Like i said though i was just wondering if it was just me or if anyone has done anything about it.

No....i said DD comps which are far better then the crappy stock speakers or the bose. I just like driving with my windows down listening to the music but since our cars are smaller the wind drowns everything out. Im trying to decide if im gonna put a pair of CDT image tweeters on the dash.

Not sure the cost of custom A-pillars would be worth it unless i could get them to point in a good spot. I almost thought of trying to stick a pair where that kinda flat spot is in the corners on the dash.

I tried setups with and without rear speakers and in my opinion, the car sounds like garbage without the rears. I went with some high-quality JL comp's in the front and some mid-quality JL coaxials in the rear, and everything comes together nicely. When you fade full front or full rear, it sounds horrible. Fade to center and it sounds great. I know most people say get fronts only, but I totally disagree with that.

I agree too after hearing both but now that i got a brand new 2 channel i dont have much of a choice since i went that route so idk what im gonna do.

The other option might be to use the HU speaker output for the rear and dedicate the amp to the front. (Particularly if your HU has a HP crossover built in for speaker outputs)

Many amplifiers claim to double their power when the impedance is cut in half. So in many cases the answer is no. (theoretically)
However some amps, like the 4244 I use in my work vehicle, don't double output. The 4244 claims 45 per ch at 4 ohms and only 60 per ch at 2 ohms. It puts out more power when impedance is cut in half but it doesn't double.

Say you already have upgraded door speakers, to make the front cabin sound-stage even stronger, has anyone considered adding components in the rear? Or would placing a tweet behind the ear ruin the balance of the in cabin sound?
