need to improve highs


Recommended Posts

Does your head unit have a low pass filter? Start there if it does.

I have stock door speakers currently with my low pass set at 125hz and the vocals are crystal clear in front of two 15's at 3/4 volume.

stock speakers and they sound crystal clear to you? i think you'd be fine with any of the options you gave yourself. go with the cheapest and easiestto install

Stock out of a 2012 suburu STi, yes.

I still stand by what I said

Neither of the choices you have made will sound better, start with a good set of comps that are capable of taking some power to start with and add a second set if they aren't quite able to keep up with your sub system.

whats the difference between a horn and super tweet

Both of them are horns, or horn loaded. You can see from the below pictures a horn loaded supertweet, and a couple horns. The third pic is the ID horns I use in my car.The horn is just a guide/ waveguide that controls the direction of the speakers output. A larger horn that is deeper will play much lower than a supertweet but there is a trade off as you lose some high freq. output. The upside of this is that most horns are ridiculous when it comes to efficiency. Most are over 100db 1W/1M....So any loss of high freq output can be offset by that efficiency and It can be eq'd up if necessary.

Hope this helps. They are fun to play with but like any driver they come with their own design challenges. :P
