PICS FINALLY! I can't figure out how to get them on this forum via photobucket though.

those look quite loud....and that cut you have on your hand looks like it could get infected...lol

haha they are quite loud =)

That's just a scab / scar forming from a cut two weeks back, i'm not worried about infection anymore

i didn't use the provided crossover, i set mine for 2k with an 18db slope. you may want to adjust your EQ if they aren't as bright or detailed as your previous metal domes.

I would have gone with some other tweeters personally. Especially when you're wanting detail out of them. Even a passive 3-way setup would have been an amazing choice.

I have an Eclipse with all Dynaudio in it....it rocks...md102, md142, and mw172 all active off of a drz9255 head unit...flat out tons of balls and head room....
I also have a SC400 with Hybrid Audio L4's in the Nakamichi enclosures...and L1's in the factory locations and it screams as well....

Can't go wrong with either set....

you know thats a chick car right?

Okay. I did a test install of the screamer tweeters running off my JL 300/2. They are profanely loud. I'm not quite sure if they are as detailed as I would like though, i'll post pics tomorrow and will get a better assessment once I get them running on the ARC amp.
If they don't turn out to be exactly what I was looking for, I am going to build some tower speakers. I'll pair them with my JL ZR woofers as mids and an old set of kicker CVR 10" woofers as lows. That's my backup plan =)

they are called screamers... maybe that title's appropriate

I just got the ARC amp today. Once I get the dynamat I'll have everything. I slated the install for saturday - shouldn't take too long since I already fitted the tweeters. It's pretty straightforward since I don't have to custom fab anything.

I played with the tweeters a little bit today and they sound a little better if I don't push them as hard. They don't really sparkle at the top end, but I'm going to play with some settings to see if I can change that. The tweeters I was running before were JL ZR tweets - they had some nice detail but were extremely harsh and not nearly as loud as the earthquake tweets. (not even in the same ballpark in terms of output level)

Update - dynamat is here!

That's everything. I'll take alot of pics on saturday.
