So I have an '18 with the Shaker Pro. Previously had a '06 with upgraded Kicker speakers and JVC head unit, nothing more.
With the '18 Shaker Pro, I notice that highs (cymbals, high hat, etc) are kinda lifeless and dull, whereas in the 06 they were crisp and clear. However, when I lean forward in the '18, the highs actually sound much much better. I notice in the 06 that the door speakers are closer to the driver, so that my ears are closer to being directly between the speakers. In the 18, the speakers are farther forward, and that seems to significantly reduce the clarity and quality of the highs.
Will upgraded tweeters/3.5 door mids help this at all? Has anyone else noticed this? Overall I think the Shaker Pro sounds decent for my needs, but I'd like crisper highs and mids. I'm reluctant to upgrade the speakers if it's more of a positioning issue.
