New Hertz speakers in the front and an MTX sub in the boot. Its good but not great. Dealer reckons I need an amp too. Its lacking a nice crisp top end treble sound in my opinion which I guess an amp with a graphic equaliser would solve???

IMHO, if you're still running stock head unit, a graphic eq will sort it, but your masking an inherent rubbish source....

Kinda like using a plaster to repair a leaking pipe....

The Hertz & MTX is a great start, but again drawing to other comparisons in performance - it's like expecting a major boost in power from just a backbox... when you really need a full decat & decent induction..... you've just sorted the backbox..... :smiley:

The fine art of diplomacy is telling somebody to "fcuk off" in such a way that they actually look forward to the journey....
