CMX kicks

[kross 10+ year member]

the woofers are rich and full and have a nice kick but the tweets blow. theyre not loud, theyre static-y

Something is definitely wrong. At no point should those tweeters sound staticy.

do the tweets really need to run on axis or something cause i got them pointing up to the windshield from the stock dash locations...

Also to say they aren't loud, that they are quieter than the midrange drivers, even pointing straight up at the window, means there is something seriously wrong. Aiming straight up at the windows from the dash should make for a very bright, in your face sound. So to say the tweeters aren't loud, isn't right.

I have mine on the sail panel and they seem to do fine there. tried them on the a pillar and the tweeters sound a little bright/harsh to my ears. Stock location is right at the corner under the windshield and it just doesn't sound right right there. I like them on my door panels right below the sail panel but I don't want to drill any holes into my doors.

Tweeters firing up toward the windshield can sound bad... too many reflections from the windshield can smear the sound. Try sticky-tapping them to the kicks or doors next to the mid, see how that sounds.

i was thinkin to maybe try the a-pillars. but these comps would have to **** major *** of axis for the a-pillar to really make a difference. then theres also the clarity issue...

i was thinking about trying the a-pillars. but these comps would have to **** major *** off axis to make that much of a difference on the pillars...

I'd say A.) Break-In and B.) Remove tweeters from the position of firing up into the window. C.) EQ them out..?
