I spent 2k upgrading the base stereo on my f10 only to have wierd vibrations and rattles with every kickdrum or heavy bass. dynamatted the hell out of door panels etc. but couldn't get the rattle out. it sounded fantastic otherwise but annoyed the hell out of me.

i am nervous about upgrading my HK. if i do, i will only upgrade the drivers and not install an amp because i don't want another rattle for the sake of tighter bass (volume is fine but its a bit soft now). what i really want is better clarity and imaging which i can get with just front midrange and tweeter upgrade (if i can find a pnp set).
I know that looks aren't everything, but this really is a cheap looking set of speakers. Looking at the magnets on the bass speakers, I can see why the sound is not that powerful!
