Better sound on the speakers

[darkabaz]

I find the sound on the cupra leon '21 (no beats) not bad at all, but coming from "premium systems" from Denon,JBL and B&O it just miss some punchy beats and low bass. Also, when turning the volume up it is a little bit hoarse.

I went to the audioshop and they advice me a DSP amp and a active sub in the trunk. They said the stock cupra speakers are quiet well already and no need to replace.

Do you guys know if the stock speakers should be better with a DSP behind it?
Never hears about a DSP so for me it is new.

The woofers need replacing, they are paper cone that flexes easily, see the post I just did https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/st-vze-audio-upgrade-with-a-sub.477458/

if anything replace the speakers and NOT a DSP amp.... when I had the R2 front stage off the factory headunit it was much tighter and punchier, but a sub makes all the difference, underfloor will fit easily

Where did you place the sub? In my car is too less space below the floor in the trunk.
There is a fueltank...

Our audio car hifi seller say that the stock speakers in the HPEV are good enough. A dsp made it much crispier and louder, he said

Well, they have added a high-quality DSP amplifier and sub of 260w rms to the stock system. Sounds a lot better to be honest, but I still think I'm missing some pitches between low and high and that means some dynamics are missing in the sound.
I'm still at the stock speakers and definitly don't need a perfect sound, just a bit more multi-toned/dynamic, so to speak.

Is it an idea to replace the front speakers in the door with better ones - without insulating the doors? Does that bring that improvement what i am looking for? So - as i read correct - the tweeters are good enough.

Financial part: The audio specialist asks €650 if the front doors also need to be insulated, and €250 without. makes an awful difference.

650 seems very expensive for about two hours labout and the sound deadening.... they have to take the door cards off either way.
Maybe try another comapany, but it will give more detailed sound

Why not adding an other dsp amp?
