speaker freq response

I purchased an in-dash stereo for my pick-up truck, and some cheap speakers.The stereo has bass and treble adjustment but not midrange. I have sincereplaced the speakers. The new ones do better, and sound better, but stillhave the same problem. High frequencies have too much attenuation. Reducingtreble all the way will not kill the cymbals and S sounds. With the newspeakers, if I turn the bass up very much, I get incredible deep bass, butstill too much high frequency.I thought I would buy some inductors at Radio Shack and put in line with thespeakers. From what I remember they are measured in henrys. But, I need solittle effect I may be better off making small wire coils, instead.To avoid much trial and error, would someone please suggest a startingpoint? I might buy several inductors either side of that and see what theydo. Thanks--dgm

I thought about that. By head unit I assume you mean what's mounted in the dash. It is fine. I think the problem is common with all car stereo speaker kits. They are 3-way, 4-way, etc. They have little tweeters stuck on there. I probably could just cut the tweeter wire and solve the problem, but as I've found with other modifications to other things, I may wish to go back to what it was.
