Getting more voice...

I'm one who can't stand listening to music if the voice is being drowned out.

I've got two 10" Pioneers on a 500W Jenson amp in the back (I know, not the best amp, but the subs and amp were free) and Sony Xplod 400W peak 3ways in the back. I know what people say about Xplods, I'm not worried about it, this is just an everyday driver and I'm fine with how they sound. Anyway.....I also have a Sony Xplod head unit. The 4x6s are stock.

I want to get some more voice clarity out of it all.
I'm wondering if I should get some 4x6s or just put in 2 extra tweeters.

The head unit's EQ is:
Low - 9
Mid - 4
High - 1

I feel like I've got the subs sounding how I want them to sound and all, so what should I do to get some more voice out of the system? Thanks.

Get some good 6x9's and 4x6's and run them off a 4ch amp not your deck.

Re: Getting more voice...

Besides the above mentioned advice which will make the mids and highs sound better, your eq slope is high at the low end and low at the high end... that in itself is drowning out the mids / highs...

Start the eq flat all the way across, turn the volume up enough to hear it and try to adjust the eq slightly then...

Re: Getting more voice...

yup basically your not getting that clarity mostly because of the speakers you have, i would look into better speakers and you will see a much better improvement in what your looking for
