[QUOTE="airspoon, post: 8198305, member: 657922"] Hello, I'm new to car audio -at least DIY car audio. I had nice setups in previous cars, but they were always installed by a local shop. This is the first time that I installed everything on my own. My car is now finished, or at least my original goal has been met and now I'm looking for things to add to improve overall SQ (call it an addiction?) and a more complete sound stage. I'm more into SQ, rather than SPL. In case it matters, in my 2006 Honda Civic Sedan, my current setup includes: Pioneer AppRadio 3 Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3 DSP Pioneer GM-8604 100w x4 RMS Pioneer GM-8601 500w x1 RMS Infinity Kappa 60.9cs components (up front). Infinity Kappa 62.9i coaxels (in back) Pioneer Premier TS-W1007D4 10" 4ohm DVC I have my whole car treated with Second Skin Damplifier Pro, Spectrum /Sludge and Luxury Liner Pro (MLV + CSF). However, I'm now thinking about adding extra speakers and I've been eyeing the Pioneer TS-B400PRO 4" Pro Series bullet tweeter ([URL="http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Speakers/PRO+Series/TS-B400PRO"]TS-B400PRO - 4" PRO Series Bullet Tweeter | Pioneer Electronics USA[/URL]). My question is whether I'd benefit SQ-wise with a bullet tweeter (I'm not at all familiar with them), or if I'd be better off just adding an extra set of Infinity or Focal dome tweeters on active cross-overs. I'm not an audiophile, but I want audiophile grade sound in my car and my current sound stage, although amazing, isn't cutting it. Any recommendations to improve my sound stage and over-all SQ? My new goal is to get as close as possible to studio-grade sound in my vehicle, like sitting front row at an unplugged concert. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
