[QUOTE="Hookah, post: 8534695, member: 671605"] Very nice example! On the bright side, my car has already been stripped for weight reduction, so that's out of the way. The bad thing... the car has been stripped for weight reduction, so a lot of work is necessary. I have reupholstered it with lightweight material, but that's really just an aesthetic effect. I just finished working on some things, like eliminating some rattles and adding panels to some bare bones parts of the car. I added speakers to the center console just to see what would happen, just some 3 inch Kenwoods that were handy. It actually greatly improved the stage from what I had before. Maybe that just emphasizes how bad it was before or how two average 6.5s simply didn't provide enough sound, but I closed my eyes and the vocals were directly in front of me and the treble was dancing all around me, like they were little stars I could reach out and pick out of the air (a lofty description, I know, but one of my test songs was Chrome Sparks - All There Is, after all). I also moved the 12" and got a more encompassing bass and set the 8" down to 80 Hz as has been suggested. I think that also helped de-localize the bass. I found this HU that has TA and a bunch of features for $180 after a rebate...
