Would a crossover solve this?

[BurgerKing 10+ year member]

I've got 2 tweeters and 2 door speakers being powered by the same set of wires coming from my head unit. When I'm listening to music and the person says a word that has an "S" in it, the tweeters really pick it up, and it sounds like crap. I don't have a crossover and have never really had the extra money to buy one, but if it's what will fix this problem then I guess I could get one. Is not having a crossover my problem?

i really think that would be a solution.... my freind did the same thing speaker wise and once he added the X-over it really helped balance things out a bit....

the cross over is something that is really a must when using tweets!!

hope it helped some //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Dude, you need to use a crossover. Most tweeters aren't designed to play much below 2khz....I'm suprised you haven't blown them yet.

Well everyone around here does it like that. The local shop even installs them like that. Most people never blow them, but some do. When I buy a crossover I'll probably buy new tweeters too. What's a good cheap crossover?

I have a feeling your tweets may have a passive x-over, so they are all ready covered, give us more information about your system, speakers, amps, etc...

Active or passive?? If you are going passive, be careful, you can't just hook up any tweeter on a passive and expect it too sound good (especially since putting a 8ohm tweet on a passive xover designed for a 4ohm tweeter will change the xover point, and vise versa).

euaaa...confusion...I don't know much about tweeters. I think the ones I have are 8ohm...and I owned a pair of tweeters before these that had a little box connected to the wire that came with it...I guess that was a crossover, I dunno.
