[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 7764419, member: 628688"] Time alignment is sometimes called time delay, depending on the application and the terminology the company decides to use. As you can tell from the name, it adjusts timing. It has absolutely nothing to do with adjusting power. The quick definition of what it's for is to steer the sound as we hear it from each speaker so you can make the imaging closer to what music sounds like on a real stage at a concert. You can adjust it using measurements and then fine tune it by ear. Once you've become comfortable with doing that, and you have an active system, I recommend trying this method: [URL="http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/how-articles-provided-our-members/96196-precision-time-alignment-using-only-noise-tracks-your-ears.html"]Precision time alignment using only noise tracks and your ears - DIYMA Car Audio Forum[/URL] If you're running passive crossovers you can't adjust delay for tweeters separately, but it's not that important to delay the tweeters.
