[QUOTE="tyte07, post: 8323721, member: 663431"] I had my Rainbow Profis installed in my old car for a few years (bought them from here!). When I bought a new car last year, I just took out everything and left it because I was too lazy to install them in the new car. Now that I'm feeling it again, I've decided to put my whole system back. I dented one of the tweeters when I slammed my door into it (twice) awhile back when it was still in the old car. I just left it like that without trying to fix it. The metal grill was pushing down on the silk dome quite a bit. I don't think the sound changed. [IMG]https://imageshack.com/i/ipl77vTrj[/IMG] Now that I'm planning to put them in the new car, I don't want it to look messy so I decided to try and fix it. I managed to pull the metal grill back out a bit today, but while the silk dome looks alot better than before, it's still not perfect. There are small imperfections. I'd give it 9/10. [IMG]https://imageshack.com/i/pbUBMPhlj[/IMG] First question: I wanna know if those imperfections to the silk dome will affect the sound and should I just get new tweeters? Like I said, I don't really remember the sound changing before when it was in my old car. Next question: What's the difference between "lin." and "ref." on the crossover? I think when I first had them a few years ago, I just picked one and went with it without doing any research on the subject.
