I guess this would make sense since they took the stock midrange out.

I have been recommended a 3" midrange from the Focal K2 range. Do you think this would solve the issue?
I am assuming you are running a passive crossover?
and was the JL set originally a 3 way set?

i would try playing with the EQ on the headunit first if it has one, try and bump up the frequency's around 300-800hz


If you are already running JL speakers, i would stick with them rather than going the Focal, http://www.jlaudio.com/c5-400cm-car-...ossovers-99127
The tonality of the Focals may not go well with the JL's,
Also, if the JL set you have is a 2 way system, you may need to get the 3 way passive crossover to drive them.
Unless you are wanting to run a full active 3 way front stage which even i am not game to try haha.
