    Right now up on the dash. The passenger side it's aimed at me directly. The driver side is aimed slightly off axis and more towards the passenger side. I'm using this mount right now. http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/speaker-mounts/lpg-wedge-mount-hinged/ They do screech, with certain singers.

    Yes. It is. As I got this tweeter under the assumption of my research where users were able to cross down to 2.5k. It's there now and I'll keep playing with the EQ. I'm going to build some temporary pods so I can aim the tweeters and see if that changes much.

    5k, weird. What slope? Although even with something pretty shallow I'm still surprised. 24db as I didn't want it to play lower than 5k at all. :-

    Thank you. So I've not attacked install yet but I'm going to now. They did sound great to me at first but I'm not sure what changed. But at higher than moderate listening levels they seem to break up easily unless crossed at 5k which I believe is making the sound almost lost. I'm assuming that I possibly had them crossed too low and it messed up the sound. I also don't have a mid yet which I'll get into another time. I just dropped the crossover point to 2.5k which made it louder and brought the music up higher. But it sounded way to screechy. So I adjusted 3-5k down some and it seemed to tame it quite a bit. I'm thinking that I might have to do the same at 10k and 12k. I'm using my p880 and an acoustic 4x60.

    That's pretty much what I was looking for as far as help goes. I just posted those tweeters to show what I have been looking at so someone could tell me if they are what I'm looking for. Thanks. I know what the specs are and I was looking at the graphs as well to give me an idea of usable frequency slightly off axis since I know I can't or might not have them dead on axis. I listed what I didn't like about my current setup. But it's mainly stage height I guess. It's almost as if the music is coming from below me at all times. I mean it's clear but didn't sound right. The adjustments I did have helped but I'm gonna see if aiming it makes it better. But who knows.

    I knew I probably shouldn't have narrowed it down to just those two tweets but it seems that my current setup I'm missing more than I should. Now excluding those tweeters as my only options, what characteristics should I be looking for in as tweeter? Lower/lowest FS? 4 ohm or 8 ohm? Highest sensitivity? I'm fully aware of compromise so I need to know if I'm just looking at this the wrong way. I'm willing to give up "loudness" for the rabbits I need our want. I can adjust the rest(EQ) to even out the sound. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the Re since tweeters can be loud on little power. Sensitivity somewhat similar thinking process. I wouldn't rely on EQ too much, it's nice for fixing small stuff, but don't want to be super reliant on it. Fs isn't a bad idea if your looking to cross in some frequency range, and the fs happens to be above it. Also nice if graphs are supplied with the T/S specs, or plug the specs into a modeling program. Other then that I don't have much good advise on picking a tweeter for xxx usage. For me it's sorta pissing in the wind. Well I've been talking with Randy and he made a few suggestions with my current setup to try as far as settings for the tweeter. So I crossed them at 2.5k and I EQ'd a bit at 3.15k since it was piercing. Now I have to aim these guys better and see where I go from there. If I'm not satisfied then I'm gonna look at getting something new and trying it out.

    madisound??? Yea, I know I'll have to mate to woofer with it... I'm not specific on that... Since I mainly want to get a good tweeter that can go lower.... Thanks, I'm gonna look at those

    Kangaroux's 99 Pathfinder

    Shogen replied to Kangaroux's topic in Build Logs

    What, bracing my roof? Yeah I tried to do it in an efficient fashion that would work and not cost much. It was either drop like $60-80 on deadener or brace my roof with some $2.50 silicone and scrap pieces. Glad I went with the latter I wonder if your method would hold up on a say a trunk lid... It's a nice idea.... Seems like it could work...
