Improving high end - How do I?

[Fletch_QLD]

I am looking for a decent budget approach to lift the high notes in my sound. I have the VY calais premium sound, with Vlad IPOD interface. I guess some of the reason I feel a lack of depth on the highnotes is that I am predominantly listening to mp3.

I have replaced the factory amp that drives the subwoofers with a 4 channel amp, this has massively improved my low end. I have only used 2 channels (ie, no bridgeing) so I was wondering...

Can I use the remainging 2 channels with HPF to drive the factory tweeters harder? Should I replace the factory tweeters with something stronger If I go this way? If I use HPF does this negate the need to use crossovers with tweeters?

Should I use the amp and HPF to drive a couple of 4in speakers ?

Cheers

You can't just drive the tweeters, (well you could in an active system) but the remaining 2 outputs would need to connect to the factory crossover, the crossover divides the power between the midrange in the door, and the tweeter.

A HPF on the front speakers would allow them to play louder without distortion, as you are taking the low fq's out of them, but whether they will reproduce sound better is a different story.

You allready have enough (or too many speakers) so i wouldn't go adding any more. More speakers dosent help any situation, a single set of speakers that have better reproduction on their own will help however.

Just swapping tweeters on their own won't help, as the midrage is responsible for fq's up above the 1khz mark anyway.

since you have 2 chans left on the amp..

look into getting a set of splits up front..

so replace the tweeter and woofer... it will come with a crossover so it will only need 1 channel per side

if you do go down this route, then you will greatly increase your high end and also your midrange..

if you do want to do it on a budget, try amping your front speakers now.. you will be suprised how much better they sound.
