[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8577909, member: 650438"] oh my bad lol idk why i read that as a ppi sounds like the same issues if it clips. Yes those tweeters should work out well. Driver side position left. now go to time alignment, grab a tape measure and measure the distance of each driver to your ear and enter it in either inches or centimeters to get a baseline for time alignment. Also make sure the speaker levels are evened out as well they should all be the same, but we can adjust the levels later if you cant get time alignment perfected. Afterwards get a vocal centered track like ed sheeran's shape of you and then turn off the subs, turn off the mids and work on the tweeters alone. Play (add or subtract) with the time alignment distances until you feel like the vocal is right at the center of your dash aka under your rearview mirror but one inch over to the driver side. After you get that centered, turn off the tweeter and turn on the mid. Do the same thing. Then turn everything back on Just for your own information to make it easier to tune the time alignment, while music is playing keep adding distance and see how the sound stage moves from left to right so you know wheter to add or subtract. Afterwards go to the EQ settings. Raise and adjust each band to see how each band of EQ affects the sound. Dont be afraid to boost or cut but try not to boost over 3db. When you do boost, you have to be lighter on the volume knob because you can easily clip if boost and overdrive the amp. 80-125hz affects the thuds 200hz affects the snap in the midbass drums. 315-500hz ambient noises and some deep vocals and instruments. 800hz to 1.25k is male vocals, instruments guitars etc.. 2khz to 3.15khz is female vocals. 5khz to 8khz is sibilance aka the SHHH and SSS sounds along with some detail and sparkle. 12.5khz is the upper end sparkle, every system i've tuned benefited from a lil boost here. 20khz you wont hear anything.
