[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8685186, member: 650438"] whats your real goals with this? SPL? SQ? Of a half assed combination of both with a lot of bass aka a daily ground pounder? I'm gonna tell you right now you have waaaay too much tweeter in your setup compared to midrange and midbass on an SQ perspective. However thats gonna get really loud. However even with a dsp, you can only clean up supertweets so much, its still going to not be anywhere as smooth as a silk dome or as clear, detailed and resolving as a beryllium tweet but you'll be absolutely loud as balls. Also you dont want mids to play up into the tweeter range, thats going to cause beaming issues(different parts of the cone move in opposite direction and cause phase shifts ) that affect sound quality very negatively. As in your upper midrange to lower treble area will sound like absolute sh*t, harsh peaky, fatiguing, "get me the **** outta this vehicle" kinda sound and smear all the details in your music. You want to start with a 4000khz or lower low pass filter for your mids Try a 5000hz, to 10,000 crossover with the tweets and play with the slopes, dont use the included capacitor. [/QUOTE]
