[QUOTE="SkizeR, post: 8716600, member: 633600"] The SB's are very efficient though.. 95db or so across their intended passband. Thats insane for a tweeter of that size and with a resonant frequency that low. Frankly, its a monster for what it is especially at that price. If you experienced that they weren't loud, then i can only come to a few conclusions. 1) your expectations are way off, but i doubt that considering your below comment 2) your install/tuning needs improvement 3) your insane or have no idea what you are talking about Im thinking number 2 to be honest. how are you measuring said 10khz roll off? mic with an rta? or are you just guestimating? tweeters can suffer from lack of output if installed in certain locations while the rest of the drivers are boundary loaded. This is why a lot of car audio companies make their tweeters much more sensitive vs the rest of the drivers in that line. Just in case something like this happens in an install. Im curious what they "couldn't keep up" with. Do you have a build log? that might be easier to see what is going on. im sorry but, zero shot. SB acoustics is regarded as one of the best speaker manufacturers in the world, and the off the shelf Chinese **** that massive puts out couldn't hold a candle to it. That said, SB29 also has a published 2.86v sensitivity of just under 95db. The CT2 has a published (but no frequency response measurement in sight, go figure) sensitivity of 92db.... Im starting to think that it might be a combination of 2 and 3.. sorry [/QUOTE]
