[QUOTE="grampi, post: 3550341, member: 544496"] I currently have a set of JL XR 650 comps. I absolutely love the tweeters, but the mids lack punch, however I don't know if it's because my doors aren't deadened, or if it's a deficiency with the drivers themselves. I'm going to deaden my doors to see if that cures, or at least helps with the problem. If it doesn't, I wonder if I could use the PG RSD 65 mids with the XR tweets? Everyone is saying their midbass with the RSD's is phenominal. Here's why I ask. The RSD's have a silk dome tweeter and my experience with non-metal tweeters is they tend to sound dull and lifeless to me. I think it's because I've lost some of my high frequncy hearing, but at any rate, metal tweets just sound better to me. Since the RSD's aren't very expensive, I could buy a set and if I don't like the tweets, I could use my XR's. The question then is which passives do I use. The PG's or the JL's? Maybe then I could get the best of both worlds, amazingly clear highs and strong, punchy midbass. [/QUOTE]
