I doubt that alternator is doing any justice for your system, nobody I know has had good results with their alts.

You are clipping. I would bet money on it. 13v should only dim if you have shirty aftermarket headlight bulbs

More seriously a low f-stop prime that is in the range you need.

Nearly anything with and L and the word Canon written on it.

Look at your amp. The speaker terminals will be labelled + and - if you switch them you change the phase at every frequency 180deg. I have no idea what you have so only you can answer that....or share everything you have and how it is set. STOP reading, STOP typing and go figure out what exactly you have and how it is setup.

LOL, you found them. It was the list you linked here. I just searched for <$400 and BAM they were the top reviewed one. When I realized they were local and I could demo, I figured it was a no brainer.

Phase as nothing to do with output of a single driver. It also has nothing to do with clarity on a single driver. Key word there is single... In other words, shut off ALL of your other speakers and listen only to one midrange and then the other. Then see if they are different. Unplug the sub/tweeters as well. ONLY one driver. This is always one of the first steps in any tuning. Once you have optimized/equalized how things sound then play with swapping the phase and normal phase listening to only the mids, then to only the tweeters doing the same test, then to the tweeters and mids together. Try every variation. Your ears will know what to do. If you have time alignment do that first. Figure out what you like. Write it down. Then redo the test at both a little less and a little more time alignment. Keep iterating until you are sure. And yes that is hours of work, err fun

Looking damn good!! Keep it up. Post vids ASAP

So pretty

The website is now super annoying. 6 refreshes to log in. At least it is repeatable. I can't start anywhere but the home page and have to refresh every screen 2x.

If it is at idle is there a reason you'd expect differently. Btw, don't use dimming to determine ANYTHING. Measure, measure, measure.
