Two days ago I had my 6.5 focal polyglass components, and MTX amp (4244) installed, and running off the factory HU. I was extremely excited when installation was complete by a (well known and trusted audio shop), but upon listening to the new and great equipment I was in no way impressed. There is a slight whining through speakers through out the rpm band and even while radio is OFF, bass response is not good, and the treble is too loud and too raspy. The guy told me he could eliminate the whining, for $100 with a converter of some sort. I had already dropped $275 (on installation alone), and wasnt about to spend any more. He told me that with a good aftermarket HU the difference in sound would be unbelievable. Is he right? I want sooo bad for this system to work, but the speakers sound NOTHING like what I heard in the store. The speakers dont sound like crap but, they definatly need help. I have tried to tweek and tune the amp ad the HU but nothing seems to work. I went with Focal because I have heard the difference and read all the reviews. This is the first thing that I ever read bad about these speakers. Please help what can I do. Thanks
