finkster Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 theyre still free air in the doors. only reason id ever seal them is to keep them dry. I will keep them free air though for midbass purposes. Quote DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey634 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Do you have your tweeters set on -3 or -6 db? I just got mine in the mail and they had probably about 215 W's going to the xover and those tweeters were kicking my ass Waaay too bright! But I only had them at -3.

If you read you would realize that he said he is running his active which means he isn't using the facotry passive xover.

finkster Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 woah turn the slope up then haha. I found these tweeters to be the opposite of bright. they are more relaxed compared to a aluminum tweet. I actually have mine set at -12 but I am running active so i can go anywhere from 0-24 lol. How are the mids sounding for you? as for your mids. make sure your baffle is ROCK SOLID these things will wanna flex everything around so that only makes it less efficient.

finkster Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 another side not to you mikey634... The one thing that sucks ass about running passive is that it is pre determined how much power the tweeters will get in proportion to the mids. I can turn mine up or down from the amp to suit my needs by running active...another thing i will add. My tweeters are about 2x as loud as they were running passive and i am also running 2x the power to them so I have no clue whats up with them being too bright. But everybody's ears are different!

I'm sorry, are you paying for forum space? No? Then how about you keep that huge ego somewhere else. You understood what kind of information I was after right? woah turn the slope up then haha.

How are the mids sounding for you? as for your mids. make sure your baffle is ROCK SOLID these things will wanna flex everything around so that only makes it less efficient. Yeah I had not mounted the tweets at the time just sat them on the dash, but just the sound coming out of them was dwarfing everything else. I had to play with the highpass for the mids because they did not like anything < 100 hz at all (think I settled on 120hz 12db slope) I'll keep messing with it, and if it's still a problem just use an equalizer to turn them down lol. EDIT: oh and speaking of active, what power ARE you running per tweet / mid? I'm not sure if the tweet and woofer are 4 ohms a piece, and the xover is turning it into 2 ohms, and they're rated at 75 W apiece, or...
