4 inch replacing soft dome tweeter?

[loudenuff]

I'm sure some of you follow Amplified on YouTube, if not he has an awesome minitruck build going. Instead of doing the traditional grunt stage he put a 6.5 and a 4inch in his kick and thinks it sounds good... Was wondering if anyone else has done this and how it turned out. I listen to a lot of dub step related music so I was wondering how practical of an application this would be for me. Any input is greatly appreciated.

There is no tweeter installed the 4 inch is strictly for high end freq

They have to aim a certain way. I run stuff in the kick and you really have to get the positioning and angles perfect or it throws off the soundstage completely.

I could just drop the 4s in my upper door panel but I read of keeping them within a wavelength or something like that but I have no idea what that means lol

I don't think my kicks are large enough to put anything in. And the way I sit I feel like my legs would interrupt the staging anyway

It's the so-called "widebander" trend that has been dwindling over the past few years. There are arguments for not using a small tweeter, but I don't like that approach. The Mule is a project to please one guy.

A lot of hybrid guys are doing it after Scott broke records doing it.

I've considered doing it with Hybrids 3in

I searched and a long-winded thread about this came up. If you don't read it all, like if you're browsing on a small screen, just go to post #228 by Andy Wehmeyer. It's still a wall of text to plow through but it puts this topic to rest.

Yes the mule is the one I was referring to. Strange overall project, but I like how it's turning out. I wanted to try it but I don't know how to properly set everything up without causing cancellation, or really any acoustical failure because I'm short on knowledge. Are there any advantages to doing that?
