Why the hell are the tweeters so bright?

you said you are using resistors? on what? that line to the tweets? if you are using the passive xover it will not work properly any more..

What wont work properly anymore? I am using the passive crossover and i have the resistor connected to the tweeter wire in it.

what do you mean you have the highs at 4k on your eq? Are you cutting or boosting that frequency? Also where are your tweets mounted? Do either component set come with a -3 or -6 switch for the tweets?

You know, on the 5 band EQ, the one that goes from 2.5k, 4k, 5k, 8k, 10k, 12k?

I have that on 4k.

No frequencies are boosted.

My component crossovers say they have +3 0 and -3 but i can't tell which one it's on, and can't figure out a way to change it.

brb searching manual.

Use one OR the other. If you are using coil/caps passive that is changing the frequencys from the active crossover. You dont need to run both.

 

[AudioDave]

the middle is flat usually. Remember too that you are only cut/boosing THAT specific freq. not the entire line.

There's some WOW up in this thread.

Caps? You talking about the resistors im using? So should i just take them out?

did you ever answer what vehicle or how they are mounted? if they are on or off axis? I know with my id xs28s on axis they were hella bright (not the same tweeters you have) but now that they are off axis and properly tuned they sound beautiful.

also you have an active deck. act like it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

hell if he had the xs the tweets would be the only thing he would have to tune.. just an hpf for the mids

Dude follow watt rating of the components. Get rid of the extra resistors. Try with only the amp - Passive xovers and speakers 1st.

Then change it to Amp - active xover NO PASSIVE Caps and speakers

Go with whichever situation you like the best. Thats it.
