well I finally saved up some money to upgrade my speakers.
i bought polk db 501's (5") for the font and 6x9 Alpine type-s for the back
those Alpines put out some bass. it's awesome
but, I had put the polk's in and noticed that they were not getting enough air. so after i took a utility knife to the speaker pods in oder to increase ventilation and put them back in and they sounded fine. but I've been driving around for a few days with this setup up and I'm noticing a really weird mix in mids and highs. I turned just the polk's on and realized that even though the bass was not constricted, the highs sounded muffled. I played around with the mids and highs for awhile, but nothing seemed to sound right. It sounds fine with all speaker on, but, I'm beginning to think that I need to do some more adjustment to the front speaker pods. Either that or trade them in for the 6.5 Alpine type-s and find a set of lx speaker pods.
I'm looking for suggestions as to weather I can make the polks sound better in their pods or if I should just go for the Alpines in the front as well.
thanks in advance
