You should buy a speaker with the proper frequency response that you need.
The higher the cost of the speaker, the better the response that it will
have.

As for correcting the response, it will be difficult to get something that
is not there in the first place!



I already said I bought the most expensive ones at Walmart, and they do
sound pretty good. I assumed if I paid that much I would get rid of the
tinny stuff. It's better but not gone. Besides, I have not seen any place
where one can pick and choose the frequency response for car stereo
speakers, and I would not want to spend anymore money.

I haven't had a chance to do it yet, but I'm sure a slight inductor in
series with the main speaker wire will do the trick. When done I will report
back.



Radio Shack only had 100 micro henry inductors. If I'd gone to an industrial
electronic store I could have found more. So I placed one in series with
each speaker and it worked. The tinny sound was reduced but not eliminated,
and the bass was boosted even further. I had the loudness enabled, which
seemed to do better drowning out the tinniness. When I turned off loudness,
I got real good midrange, acceptable treble, and still plenty of bass. The
treble was still turned all the way down, though. I estimate a 500 micro
henry inductor would work best, since that would allow treble at other than
minimum on the control. I may mail order some.
