[QUOTE="headless, post: 1607447, member: 566363"] Well! Today, i decided to try the fourth "Reference Soft" setting for Tweet attenuation on the X-Over's. I learned a couple of things after this modification. (1) You can actually change the low pass from 2.2hz OR the high pass from 2.2hz, to 2.6hz. So you could adjust one but not the other. Interesting possibilities there. (2) The tweets were too loud still! Upon checking this out @ the fourth attenuation level, i discovered the sound to be much more balanced and smooth. This brings me to my next discovery! The system was sounding so much more balanced, i realised (after 3 days of wondering why the hell it sounded too 'bright'/highs heavy) today that my right door woofer was just not nearly as loud as the left. It wasn't so noticeable before the change, because the tweets were overpowering the woofers anyway, but i do remember noticing my stereo separation/field just seemed 'deeper' on the right side since i bridged the amp. I think you guys probably see where this is going. I left the HP crossover on the amp that was previously on the tweets channel on! DOH. The right channel/woofer wasn't getting anything below ~150hz (200hz HP, lol). So, i turned that off and went riding around and was once again amazed at the difference some changes can make to the sound. Lesson learned - Don't be an idiot. Yay!
