i noticed something weird about my speaker placement

Basic speaker design tells us you are better off with the tweeter and mid as close together as possible. Braxially mounted is ideal in fact. Frankly Im confused why this surprises you Reed.

Tweeter on top of mid, centered... like a coaxial speaker.

I get your point James, but Im feeling helpful today. Plus, what else is this forum for besides these discussions. If anything, the guy who just made that dampening thread should be the one searching. lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I have a foam mattress. no matter what side I wake up on, it's good stuff. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I wonder how would that saying would go for someone that sleeps on the floor or couch.

I've always thought "braxial" was some stupid marketing term that CDT make up.

Jensen was the first to use the "coaxial" term, IIRC, as all the manufacturers had different phrases for it...Tannoy called theirs dual concentric, Altec was biflex...

I dont know where the term came from. You are probably correct. They all refer to the same idea though, a single point source. Its funny, people laugh at coaxial speakers and rave about comp sets, but dont realize the coax is many times a more ideal configuration. No biggy though really, most of us probably couldn't hear the difference between this mounting method, and mounting the tweeter outside the mid but very near it, as is more traditional.

Funny you say that.

My coaxials did sound much nicer than my freshly installed comps. Not as loud but much more natural.

Coax's get a bad rep because most manufacturers dont take them seriously. The tweeter's xover usually consists of a simple bass blocker resistor wired in series with it, where a comp set gets a real cap n coil setup.

Wow Jensen came up with that? That has to be the only worthwhile contribution to car audio they've ever made //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
