Bro ur builds are cheezy..........

Oh, rule 1 is think before pushing the shutter button. Rule 2, see rule 1. Rule 3, pay attention to backgrounds. See instant improvement in your photos.

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

Um, not exactly. That is just what you can change. Or you could say you are right if both speakers are exactly at the same point in space. Once you have separation it changes everything. Speed of sound is constant but the number of waves in a space is dependent on frequency. Each up+down of the sine wave contains 360 deg of phase. Obviously with distance the point at which the sine wave for each frequency will arrive at your ear at a different time. Regrettably this means for all frequencies it is different. If you are 180deg out of phase with the exact same signal you have a sum of zero. Zero is not something you want to hear. This means you need to play around with the phase of all your speakers to see how nicely they sum. I have NEVER had a car where both tweeters and both mids sounded best all wired "in" phase. Your goal is to try to find the right combination of phase that sounds the best.
