Unhappy with the sound quality of my install. Where can I improve it? Wiring?

[QUOTE="Blake Vandercar, post: 8677341, member: 677153"] Most problems have been fixed! Dayton DSP is great. [LIST][*]I found out the noise was in fact from my head unit-- So the solution was to keep the gains low on both the DSP and amp, meaning I usually have my head unit volume fluctuating around 3/4ths max at normal listening level-- which has resulted in better SQ as well of course. And if I ever do need it louder than the gains allow (tailgates or something) I can bring the DSP gain up thru the app! [*]I found out that the rear speaker signal from the HU had much more lower-mids for the door woofers (probably because the stock tweeters were wired in parallel with the woofers in the front)-- so I've gained MUCH more lower mids by using the DSP to just use the R/L rear channel inputs. [*]Tuning the EQ on the DSP has allowed me to greatly reduce the volume of the tweeters. I basically have it -6dB to -9dB from 1000 Hz up. [/LIST] However, there are still some notes here and there in songs that really sting my ears from the tweeters! Way too shrill sometimes! Annoying. So I have a question for you: I haven't mounted my tweeters yet. What if I mount my tweeters a few inches from the door woofers, aimed slightly up and in, as many people online recommend-- but later on, get a 2 CH amp and 2 [I]additional[/I] high-quality tweeters mounted higher for imaging purposes? Instead of using the tweeters I have as the imaging ones. These would be on their own channels of the DSP, so I could control their crossover/EQ/time delay totally independently. Are there any downsides to this solution/ would you recommend it? Or would the 4 tweeters cause interference with eachother, ie should I just skip the hassle and mount the component tweeters I already have higher and continue to fine-tune the EQ output... [/QUOTE]
