Tuning tweeters???

I recently added a pair of tweeters to my vehicle. It significantly improved the sound stage. But it seems it is missing something, like a drop/hole in certain frequencies. The custom EQ on my deck is tuned to my original speakers before I added the tweeters in.

This is my first time tuning higher range of an
audio system. Just wondering if anyone can give me any tips on how I would approach this?

Also, my hand is kind of blocking the driver's side when my hand is placed at 10 o'clock on the
steering wheel. With that, I can tell that the staging is skewed slightly to the passenger's side. Am I suppose to aim the tweeter higher so it is toward the head/ear level?

Cheers!

Tunning is purley subjective. It's all about what sounds good to you. If you like a real tinny sound, you turn up the high range. Vocals is usualy around the mids in the 1khz range. With that said, most decs only offer you high and low boost, maybe high low and mids. To tune things properly, a 12 band eq would be best. However, if your missing a frequency, perhaps your crosovers are set wrong and they are not overlapping the frequencies. That is the first place i would check. the12volt.com has some great tools to help you make your own crossovers and custom tune them to the frequency range youwant.
