MB quarts are soooooo bright....

[teeroy 10+ year member]

its way too crispy for my taste right now so when i went to adjust the tweeter attenuation, i noticed that the xover was at -6. excuse the ignorance but can i make it less bright if it's already at this setting? would i just have to adjust the tonal controls on my hu?

i think it is part tweeter placement too cause i opted to have them mounted furthest from th hinge so they're kinda near the rear passengers head. i wanted this to create a surround effect for movies and games.

does anyone know if i can put some kind of capacitor to filer the *ultra* highs to them?

I've heard of reversing the polarity of the tweeters to reduce brightness, try that and see how it sounds.

they're definately further than 8 inches... i'll try reversing the polarity and see what it does. thanks for the suggestions.

****....something must be wrong with me. I have my MB Quarts on 67 watts rms, with 0 db attenuation, and +3 on the high setting of my h/u...and im still not satisfied. Oh yea btw did I mention I even have Titatnium tweeters? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Actually.....ive sat inside a car with about 9 pairs of tweets running off a 600 watt 4 channel amplifier....and it did not bother me at all. I guess I just like alot of tweets.

Actually just about the time that I can get enough highs out of my tweeters to satisfy me, the tweeter protection kicks in.

Something is very wrong with you ... Your ears should literally be bleeding ...
