Then I have added a JL audio amp , along with a pair of match underseat speakers, which is definitely a step in the right direction , I have disconnected the speakers in the rear doors , and running the underseats off two channels,and the fronts off the other two channels .
At the moment sound is vastly improved, a lot clearer,more punchy bass but need to set it up properly, will then debate wether to add an amp and a boxed sub firing through the ski hatch ,good luck, Den .
Cool, thanks for that. Which speakers did you use for under seats exactly?

With regards to the fronts, the pioneers do have inbuilt tweeters and the sound has improved somewhat, as in it is brighter than before. I guess they need to run off an external amp to get their full potential! Also I know stand alone tweeters would sound much better due to the positioning. However, I am more worried about the mids and bass so will focus on the underseats and external amp. I am certain this will improve things alot like you say.

EDIT: Just found those match speakers on amazon as per your response on the other thread Did you have 8 inch oem speakers in there before? As I have currently 6.5 inch speakers in there (I think??) as I thought that was the standard size! So confused as to whether I would need specifically 6.5 inch or 8 inch....
