    recommend 6.5 coaxials for front stage

    I want to upgrade my front 6.5 / 6.75 speakers and I am looking at some of my options. I don't like harsh highs and want a "slightly warmer" tweeter for this location. I have been happy with the overall sound/price of the pioneers and I like the fact that their crossover is set to play down to...

    Souch vast differences in opinions - Help me select the correct front speakers

    Read something interesting in the MECP Advanced Book (pg221). It doesn't really discourage mounting the tweeters so high, but rather explains there will be tradeoffs. It actually recommends taking advantage of an acoustic phenomenon by mounting the tweeter lower than the woofer. Tips on...

    Souch vast differences in opinions - Help me select the correct front speakers

    I understand that tweeter placement can make a dramatic impact in the "height" of the sound stage. I actually tried them duct taped to the a-pillar and I thought it was a bit much. But shouldn't the tweeter be mounted close to the woofer? (equidistant to the diameter of cone) It seems that...

    Souch vast differences in opinions - Help me select the correct front speakers

    After some research, I have several ideas. 1. what do you think of "convertible" Components? (the ones where you can mount the tweeter coaxial style) 2. I have some ideas to mount a component setup without cutting the door panel. I actually tested this out today with some old MBQuart 1"...

    Souch vast differences in opinions - Help me select the correct front speakers

    I'm starting to see that I am limiting my selection with coaxial speakers. Biggest issue I have is that I need to listen to a set of speakers and really like them before I spend over $100. I am open to components, and I would mount the tweeter in front of the woofer, kinda like a coaxial. I...

    Souch vast differences in opinions - Help me select the correct front speakers

    Thanks for the suggestion I will look into those and I like the fact they are 2.7ohm, to give the front stage a bit more power.

    Souch vast differences in opinions - Help me select the correct front speakers

    I have a Honda CRX and I am looking to improve my front sound stage - which should be easy considering what I have now are some 5yr old 4-way pioneers LOL. I have a decent budget system and I don't want to cut my door panels to mount a tweeter, so I have been looking primarily at coaxial...
