[QUOTE="tplaya07, post: 1249993, member: 552766"] Also...you just got them installed. You will likely see both the tweets and midbass "mature" a bit and smooth themselves out, as the mechanical parts get settled in. Another thing about the midbass. They may very well be wired correctly, but due to the angle(s) of the drivers, you may be getting cancellation...in which case you could try wiring them out of phase and see if you get better results. You can also try wiring the passanger door tweeter out of phase as well, if you notice that they get harsh at certain frequencies (typically happens at around 3-3.5kHz, depending on the tweeter, IIRC). And facing the winshield is not typically the best solution, as you will likely experience problems with imaging and reflection. Usually in the sail panels or down closer to the mid is a better solution. However...before you try any of these solutions, I would recommend you give it about a week (or around 15-20 hours of playtime) to let the drivers settle in. Send me a PM if you want to, and Ill try and help you get them going. [/QUOTE]
