metal tweeters with metal music makes sense

The aluminum does have benefits, such as better off-axis response (maybe good for stock location) and better top end extention. Details are much more crisp. Some people like it, some dont. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Can you explain a bit more on what you mean here. I'm certainly aiming towards a metal tweeter. Silks are what I've used for some time now and they are good and all...just woudln't want that brittle sound...if the aluminums do not have brittle sound then that would be a good thing.

by the way...I live in Fullerton.

I figure If i'm to get expensive speakers might as well do them right and get kick panels. .

not true

I'm in Westminster, ca

The Aluminum versions do not have that harshness or heavy metallic sound like most other metal dome tweeters. Even their home audio 27tbfcg series are aluminum, yet you wouldn't think they're aluminum because they are **** smooth and won't fatigue your ears. That is unless you use the wrong crossover settings.

well that about sums it up. I will go with the aluminums. But like you've said its all about the tunning. That would be the next part. what would be a really good start position for tunning a set of Sea Louts References when using the eclipse....

also...if the Eclipse has Xovers and such.... and my Amps have Xovers....which one takes over? Figure sound will Xover from the HU first then the signal will go to the amps and Xover again......is this right?

no if you are going with a 2 way frontstage put the crossovers on your amp as "all pass" or "off." you'll do all the crossover stuff through your HU. I believe that most amps don't have a bandpass option so you can't bandpass your mids on your amp. It's nice also because the eclipse has real time adjustment, meaning when you change something tuning wise (i.e. EQ, crossver and time alignment) you can turn up the volume while changing these settings while most HUs you have to return to the main menu to turn up the volume.

I went out and checked my amps...and Didn't see any kind of "off" switch for the crossovers. The sub amp had no off switch at all...my 2 channel had a Flat switch...but neither had a crossover off switch.

??

 

[alphakenny1 10+ year member]

well on the amp there should three options: LP, HP, and off. maybe the off option is not indicated and might be blank or in the middle between LP and HP. check your manual, btw what amp is it?

 

[orangeblast 10+ year member]

The older version of the DEI amps...

125x2 and a 1100D Mono amp

 

[alphakenny1 10+ year member]

ic. odd. well if you planning to go active you need a 4 channel amp.

 

[orangeblast 10+ year member]

what about my sub amp. the 125x2 will be replaced by a 4 channel. but i plan on keeping my dei 1100 amp

 

[alphakenny1 10+ year member]

sub amp is fine, just get a 4 channel if you want to go active.

 

[orangeblast 10+ year member]

ok...then i should b good o go!
