And what's his trick to no tweeters?

Tons of processing ...

[skittlesRgood]

pointing the speakers at your ears is usually good. thats how my mids and tweets are set up

And distance wise? How far away are they?

as far away from you as you can.

Makes sense since pro audio always sounds better 10-15ft away lol

Ill stick to tweeters then. Ill figure this out before I do something the pros do.

So I'm thinking redo my kicks to 8" midbass and glass my doors with 4" or 5.25" and where do you recommend the tweeters?

[skittlesRgood]

as close to the mids as possible.

If you want smoother tweeters hunt for some fabric domes or ribbon tweeters if you can fit them. Larger ribbon models play mids very well without sacrificing much extension. I don't like silk domes but most fabric domes are pretty "smooth" I just find that most of the silk diaphragm tweeters I have sampled seemed to lack when it came to reproducing percussion even with rounded performance on other music styles.

Okay because currently I have my tweeters close at the kicks then far away. So if I put them closer together hopefully that will make them sound/transition smoother.

Since they sound better far away how do you think the 8" and tweeter in kick then 4/5.25" glassed in the side will sound?

Ribbon tweeters are harsh. You have to tune them down and they get louder/harsher the more they break in. If you have a chance listen to the vifa tweeters I've never heard a nicer tweeter in that price range they even come with silk/aluminum/fabric types of domes.

I agree tho smoother tweeters are the best

I have never had trouble with harsh ribbons but I suppose that is because I prefer older ribbon tweeters. Guess it is worth mentioning that all of mine (mostly home audio, 3 pairs) were made before 2000. I happen to think most any driver made before 2000 is superior in quality to today's offerings. Luckily in a TC you have good mounting options and don't need ludicrous dispersion characteristics so your options are really open. The best fabric domes I have heard (some of the best tweeters that I have heard period) were the original Dynaudio Esotars.

I will have to see about hearing some Vifa tweets I have heard Dynaudio, Scan Speak, high-end "name brand" lines of all sorts, Morel, Rainbow, and recently Focal in vehicles and I like Rainbow the best so far for highs.

That's awesome where'd you get to hear all these speakers!

Also have you heard the luelueman or something like that they have a ribbon tweeter that faces forwards and backwards.
