Default speaker question

Hi was hoping to get some advice.I am running hertz mille pro 6.5 coaxial in fairing with amp but i am finding the tweeters to be a bit harsh and was thinking of changing them out to GZ yellow basket 6.5 coaxial speakers.Would it be worth doing?Thanks

Like was mentioned with the treble, you can always dial the power back a little and decrease frequency a little. The GZ's can get harsh also with a lot of power and no dsp.

While I like the GZ speakers, the Mille Pros are also a good speaker. I know it's a basic system and doesn't require a dsp, but I would put one in it anyway. A dsp will give you control over any tuning to help you tailor the sound you're looking for. It will easily adjust the crossovers and give you an equalizer to pull down the offending frequencies.

Most here will say it's not necessary, while technically that's true, it was the BIGGEST improvement I've ever done to my audio.
