[QUOTE="fithwheel, post: 8665397, member: 674179"] Defiantly provide more info. Those tweeters aren't that bright imo. Gain too high? You're not exactly using a sound quality amplifier on them. Did u double check polarity?Are you using any of the hu sound affects? Did u use the amps crossover as well? Not a good idea. Have you tried tuning the tweeters down in the crossover section of the hu? Did you try isolating each speakers then tuning? Have you tried different slopes? A lot of possibilities you could have wrong. Even my 5.25 maximo have decent response for cheap small mids. Personally I like to isolate the speakers (turn off sub and rears to tune front etc)turn the eq all the way down and work my way up. No sound affects turn it up to max listening volume and typically don't go over 0db on the eq but everyone has their own way of tuning. You won't be able to eq the rears separately but your sound stage will sound better if you keep them turned down in the time alignment section of the hu. [/QUOTE]
