[QUOTE="gstokes, post: 8282607, member: 660947"] i was just like you when i first began this venture but the problems i thought i would have were avoided by careful speaker placement, if all the speakers are facing you then the sound from each speaker will reach your ears at the same time, just like home audio speakers. It is soooo important for the tweeter to be staring you in the face or at least close, the midrange are fine in the doors because they're in bandwidth mode and not having to reproduce anything above 3000Hz, the wavelength is starting to get stretched out at 3kHz and below so the midrange does not have to looking at you, but it helps. Remember that the rated power for the tweeter doesn't need to be as high as the wattage on that channel because the tweeter receives only a small portion of the spectral energy as compared to the midrange and then the subwoofer which consumes the majority. My amplifier pumps 75Wrms to a tweeter that's only rated for 50Wrms but it will never see 75Wrms because their's not enough spectral energy in the tweeters wavelength, same thing with the CL-5 midrange drivers that are rated for 60 watts continuous on a 75 watt channel, they will get more spectral energy than the tweeters so you need to bump up the power rating accordingly, good speakers like to be pushed and the harder you push them the better they sound so choose power ratings on your drivers appropriately..
