POPLERO Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 So I finally get my set of tweeters and run the new pair (alpine spr 10tw), and another set I already had (alpine dts), off the headunit (alpine cda117). I wire em up, and they sound horrible, they start distorting right away and medium volumes and can somewhat tell they're getting midbass freqs. My question is what is the typical freq that tweeters are crossed at so they only play the highs? I got the stinger bass blockers aswell (5.6khz 4ohm) and they still don't sound good at all.. I am also running the (alpine powerpack 4x45) Before I ran the stock bose full range 2inch speakers that come stock on the trailblazers and they sound ok but wanted just highs off the dash locations. Input and information appreciated. I'm just effin pissed, I was leaning towards that they would sounds crisp and clean but very not the situation apperently..

OrionStang Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Depends on the tweeter and other speakers you are running. Could be crossed anywhere between 3k and 7k depending on the mids. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POPLERO Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 What could be done to make them sound like an actual tweet (just play highs)? better or bigger crossovers? I tried all the settings on the headunit itself and not much difference... I even reconnect the stock 2inch full range just to see if i might have messed something up, but they sound good.. Im just a little lost now..
