Upgrading Mids and Highs.

thats not bad actually, someone said to mount the mids on the pillars?

I've never heard Alpine products that just didn't sound good. Especially their tweeters.

I'm assuming you have them passive on that 4 channel.

Honesty brother ... I'd optimise what you have now before buying new equipment that may or may not give you better results than what you have now.

Like using your 4 channel amplifier for what it was meant for ...

Those type e's do sound horrible at least in my opinion, the tweeters are really harsh.

Tweeters and mids sound good close together in the a pillar.

Thanks,they are a bit harsh to my ears. Im going to try to run my amp 4 channel mode powering the tweets and the mids on their own channels and see how that does first.

so, did I just make a mistake? ordered 2 of Vifa BC25SC06-04 1" Textile Dome Tweeter 's and 2 Dayton 6.5 mid bass and deadener. The alps are killing me, dont think active will help them. Ive read and heard a lto of great reviews on both the Vifa's and the Daytons

I think I'm in the same boat. I listen to techno and dubstep. Mine is Alpine and Jl Audio.

I love my Crescendo Mezzo components but they took a little tuning to get right. The tweets are a bit strong but overall great sound and volume.

Pro audio typically will get louder though, I used to have the Crescendo pwx6.5 and loved them, little weaker mid bass but i was lazy on the install too.

As far as running tweets on other channels, yes you can. That amp has a high pass filter up to 4500hz. So channel 1 & 2 could be tweets, channel 3 & 4 are mids.

why do people keep telling me I cant do this with my amp!!!!! can I or cant I?

so I scratched the upgrading the mids and highs, luckily I was able to cancel the order. Instead after many hours of research and advice Ive come to realize that Im choking myself off starting at my head unit which is an old JVC kd-x 200 or whatever it is. Ive decided to spnd the coin on the deh80prs and deadener in which I have ZERO in my doors. Im going to see if I can get the most out of my mids and highs going active with what I have. I still will upgrade the mids and highs eventually but this is a great starting point for me as I hated the JVC and its lack of tuning abilities.
