Hey guys I have a little problem. It started today after I got off of work and wanted to listen to something a little different to listen to so I put in my Nora Jones CD, killed my rear speakers, turned my subs down, and cranked the volume for a nice quite ride home through the country. All was good until the song Come away with me came on. I then realized that I couldn't get it loud enough for the guitar solo and the pure sound and tone of her voice. It's such an incredible song and while my system reproduces it wonderfully to the point where it almost fills you and kind of feels like she's standing behind you gently singing in your ear to the point where with the windows down I could almost swear I could feel her breath on the back of my neck and got that feeling when a woman puts her arms around you from behind and whispers in your ear (if you can't tell I'm very moved by this song).
Anyway with that said here is my problem. I really want to give the sq of my truck a little more kick and since I plan on replacing the entire system soon to switch out for brands I sell witch are currently Elevation Audio, Interfire Audio, American Bass and I have an account with Parts Express. I still want to retain my ability to make the kids drool with the beats when I put in some Gucci Mane or YoungBloodZ and like that since that's my main customer base. I was really hoping that someone could help me out. I have a lot of questions and am actually new to the world of SQ so if one of you SQ guru's could kind of take me underwing a little I could really use the help in balancing my system and finding a happy medium, mind you I'm very happy with the sound in my truck and could probably get more volume out of what I have but that would involve messing with my gains and EQ and I feel that where I have everything set now is the best place and to try and get more volume from it would end up doing more harm than good so if your interested in helping with the system design or have any suggestions I am totally open to any help I can get. Thanks for the read and any resources, links or general getting started information please hook me up.
right now I'm thinking of going with mostly Elevation Audio amps, components and subs, I also thought of adding some Dayton audio mid drivers and possibly some custom crossovers and probably keep my IQ9 indash eq.
