If it's working properly, your shouldn't notice it, it should just work seemlessly. I've heard cars where it was obvious when it increased the volume, and it drove me crazy to the point I would turn...

There is no need for a custom crossover. Just a need to go "active". Active means having adjustable crossover, real eq, time alignment, at minimum. That could fix the problems your having, but...

My main goal was to explain that it wasn't possible to sound better than the oem+ system without dsp. I'm in the same boat with you, I would build it myself with proper dsp.

Ok, so I just looked at the price of the OEM+ systems. Can it be beat for less money? Yes and no.

Music isn't recorded to be surround sound. It's recorded to be stereo sound, with left and right channels in front of you. It's been that way for 65 years, and likely won't change, as that's what...

Sound coming from all directions is not a sign of sound quality, music is recorded in stereo, to come from in front of you. Most cars fail this.

Be careful adding at 8khz. If that's a null, adding there won't do much to the frequency response, but will increase the amount of power the tweeter is seeing and add distortion. You'll know if you...

Agreed with all above, except the frequency at which the tweeters will begin to beam. It's going to be closer to 13khz, as it's based on the diaphragm diameter and not the tweeter frame diameter.
