not that much fading occurs. I can hear 12k pretty easily. Yeah, I can boost it and cut it a bit and it's not a huge difference, but the frequency is audible. 16k, not so much. My GF hears 16k about as easily as I hear 12-14, judging by how she reacts to tones when I turn it up, I let her tune my car on the top end for a competition once lol.

lol I think wifes are born with a hearing tone of 24K because they seem to hear everything lol

Despite the derailment, what do most of you high pass your tweets at? Midranges are so large though...do you just run them in a custom pod on the dash? I see the differences on vs off axis in audible response and it is quite a difference on some of the speakers. TBH switching to on axis last week was the best thing I have done yet....I hear so much I didnt before.

I just tried this test online on laptop speakers; http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/can-you-hear-this-hearing-test/

I hear the 17khz, but the 18 I can't on the laptop.

depends on the tweets. 2x the FS is a good start.

How do you guys go about mounting your midrange drivers on axis then, if they are as large as they are....my car has dash space, but I also don't need to attract theives to come steal shit from my car but mounting PVC pipe with a speaker in it on my dash...
