I'm afraid I've given some bad advise on upgrading the stock premium 6 speaker stereo system. As some of you may have read in other threads, I added a sub and amp to the trunk, 4 Kenwood 5x7 door speakers and kept the factory tweeters and deck. Last week I spent 10 hours in my car over 2 days and noticed how "tired" my ears felt. This is the 2nd time I'd been in my car that long since I made all the upgrades.
The only thing I could come up with was the high notes were wearing my hears out. I tried turning down the treble on the head unit, but it removed too much treble, so it didn't sound right. I stopped by the place I got my sub and talked with one of their experts. We decided it was from having dedicated tweeters (factory) and the tweeters that are part of the Kenwoods (2 way). I came home and disconnected the factory tweeters, and it sounds much better. Nowhere near as "bright" as before, with much cleaner sound.
For all of you that upgrade your door speakers with 2 ways, it's best to unplug the factory A-pillar tweeters. If you have the budget for components, all the better. They will always sound better than a 2 way. Sorry for the bad info, hope this helps you enjoy your sytem more than ever.
