Highs

[Fender5 10+ year member]

I want louder mids and highs. I was giving them 150W RMS and I was still wanting more. I have 16 gauge speaker ran through the molex plugs. So they can handle quite a bit. I need to upgrade. I want crisp highs. any suggestions?

What single set of comps can you get that will sound better or handle significantly more power than the ID's you have now?

If you want more highs go to parts express and buy some Selenium ST350 tweeters. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

i've owned 48 of them at one time, i'd do better quality ones over them now..

What's gain have to do with it? You're just changing the input voltage on the amp. It doesn't determine if your mids are efficient enough to do what you want and still be able to handle the power you want to drive to them. It sounds to me that you have enough power, you just need some staging. How about some custom kick panels that'll give your mids the proper angle to the ears that'll "clear" some things up? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sounds like the OP needs a 3 way front speaker arrangement. Should he decide to go that route, all I have to say is welcome to tuning hell!

well idk why i threw the gain in there. i set it by ear and was giving them a little more than rated power is what i meant.

im thinking about attempting fiberglass, even though i have no idea how.

gunz: no thanks to the 3 way. sounds too hard. ha
