Need more HF output - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have some HF hearing loss, so I prefer my systems a little brighter than normal. With the stock BA system I had the treble cranked up to about 10 or so. So now I've installed a FARK with a JL XD700/5 and now that the center speaker is disabled, I find the sound a bit dull even with the treble maxed out. What would be the best (simple) way to gain some more HF output/clarity? New tweets?

Right now, I would say that the I prefer the BA system over the XD700/5 (at low volumes)

I like jazz and 60's-70's rock and listen at moderate volume levels (Yes, I'm old)

Look at a set of Hybrid Audio Technology or Focal tweeters. I have the HAT L1SE's in the Camaro and Focal Polyglass's in the wife's car. Very clean. Over 5k, I'm def and these sound great.

Those are nice but way out of my budget and what is in the car now.
