[QUOTE="ItsHammer, post: 8705147, member: 679417"] So I took my doors apart today to check the xover setting on the passive network because I've been having to drastically cut my eq settings so I was curious if they had it set to a positive dB slope and maybe that's why everything sounded so harsh but come to find out they didn't even use the passive xover. Not exactly sure how they have everything set up but I do know have wires running from the amp to the factory speaker wiring and from there they go to the mids but I'm not sure about the tweeter. The stock tweeter had a built in capacitor I believe but I don't think these new tweeters do. Is it normal for installers to bypass a passive xover? It's not set up active either. It's very strange. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
