[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8017027, member: 576029"] no real need to run active for time alignment. above 3.5kHz imaging is based on intensity, not time arrival differences. the best thing to do for your setup is to attenuate the driver's tweeter by 3dB but leave the passenger tweeter at 0dB. this will improve the sound stage for the driver's seat. note that passengers won't hear the same thing, so when you demo, have them sit in the driver's seat. for this reason, i have presets on my HU that are for driver, passenger, or both. eq is not the same as level on crossover. crossover turns down the entire tweeter while eq affects a band of frequencies. only use the EQ to fix peaks or valleys. doing this by ear requires you start to pay attention to specific instruments in a recording. for example, find a song that has prominent bass guitar - listen to the loudness of the bass guitar as it plays a wide range of notes. if some notes seem muted or exaggerated, use an EQ to fix that. i prefer to use an EQ to cut more than boost.
