Double post FTL -
Thank you. So I've not attacked install yet but I'm going to now. They did sound great to me at first but I'm not sure what changed. But at higher than moderate listening levels they seem to break up easily unless crossed at 5k which I believe is making the sound almost lost. I'm assuming that I possibly had them crossed too low and it messed up the sound. I also don't have a mid yet which I'll get into another time. I just dropped the crossover point to 2.5k which made it louder and brought the music up higher. But it sounded way to screechy. So I adjusted 3-5k down some and it seemed to tame it quite a bit. I'm thinking that I might have to do the same at 10k and 12k. I'm using my p880 and an acoustic 4x60.

That's pretty much what I was looking for as far as help goes. I just posted those tweeters to show what I have been looking at so someone could tell me if they are what I'm looking for. Thanks. I know what the specs are and I was looking at the graphs as well to give me an idea of usable frequency slightly off axis since I know I can't or might not have them dead on axis. I listed what I didn't like about my current setup. But it's mainly stage height I guess. It's almost as if the music is coming from below me at all times. I mean it's clear but didn't sound right. The adjustments I did have helped but I'm gonna see if aiming it makes it better. But who knows.

I knew I probably shouldn't have narrowed it down to just those two tweets but it seems that my current setup I'm missing more than I should. Now excluding those tweeters as my only options, what characteristics should I be looking for in as tweeter? Lower/lowest FS? 4 ohm or 8 ohm? Highest sensitivity? I'm fully aware of compromise so I need to know if I'm just looking at this the wrong way. I'm willing to give up "loudness" for the rabbits I need our want. I can adjust the rest(EQ) to even out the sound. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the Re since tweeters can be loud on little power. Sensitivity somewhat similar thinking process. I wouldn't rely on EQ too much, it's nice for fixing small stuff, but don't want to be super reliant on it. Fs isn't a bad idea if your looking to cross in some frequency range, and the fs happens to be above it. Also nice if graphs are supplied with the T/S specs, or plug the specs into a modeling program. Other then that I don't have much good advise on picking a tweeter for xxx usage. For me it's sorta pissing in the wind. Well I've been talking with Randy and he made a few suggestions with my current setup to try as far as settings for the tweeter. So I crossed them at 2.5k and I EQ'd a bit at 3.15k since it was piercing. Now I have to aim these guys better and see where I go from there. If I'm not satisfied then I'm gonna look at getting something new and trying it out.

curious... what tweeters are those in your sail panels?

These: Seas Reed paper cone

madisound??? Yea, I know I'll have to mate to woofer with it... I'm not specific on that... Since I mainly want to get a good tweeter that can go lower.... Thanks, I'm gonna look at those

no worries man... I got a laugh at it... What you drinking anyways? lemonade?

lol... was kind of thinking the same but not so simply put... hahahaha

looks amazing!!!

So I know, I know.... "no VS threads" .... Not totally sure whether this completely falls under that but here we go.... So, I've realized I made the wrong decision for tweeters in my car... LPG aluminum tweets .... Cannot be crossed lower than 4k and that is with lower power/lower volume.... 5k is much better.... This will not work for me anymore... I've learned that now and need to move onto something better for me... Currently using my Pioneer HU for active setup and going through a MB Quart 4.125 .... I am looking at these guys: Vifa NE25VTS-04 Morel CAT 378 I have been eyeballing the Vifa for quite some time now but not pulling the trigger just yet.... The Morel came up in another thread and I saw that the specs were similar but it's advertised as a sort of "hyrid" tweeter .. My biggest problem is not install or anything... But which would be louder on the power given... Not that I want to be heard from farther away but I want to have more headroom as far as EQ and balancing without much struggle... I'm looking to improve the clarity and range...I do not have a specific driver to match up with it yet but any suggestions would be great... And wondering if I can fit an 7-8" mid to pair with it... .Help I'm lost.... Music tastes: Pretty Lights Masta Ace K-OS John Legend Robin Thicke Kalimba Eptic Aloe Blacc Arrested Development Camp Lo The Pharcyde Slick Rick Putamayo Los Compadres Dir En Grey Gorillaz JuneHighly suggest you guys check out the music I listen to so you know what I'm after.... It's really wide and I'd like to be able to play it all.... Any and all help much appreciated....!!!

Always gotta hate drew. lol... Drew loves people in a different way... let's leave it at that M&M... hahahahahaha

What, bracing my roof? Yeah I tried to do it in an efficient fashion that would work and not cost much. It was either drop like $60-80 on deadener or brace my roof with some $2.50 silicone and scrap pieces. Glad I went with the latter I wonder if your method would hold up on a say a trunk lid... It's a nice idea.... Seems like it could work...

dayum that was quick!!!

Sorry fellas, I did not notice it was 4sale thread...lol... Thought you were just showing off your crimp tool... lmfao... My bad! I read too fast sometimes...hahaha
-
I guess... But I'd rather take my chances with the hydraulic... lol ... I cannot read.... I suck.....
-
I have one... it's been thrown into the drawers of the garage and forgotten... I use a hydraulic crimper from harbor freight.... Works wonders.. . I cannot read.... I suck.....

In the OP setup, if he is being honest which I think he is ... Then yea it will do 138... Now for you ... No one will ever know til you do it...

Why not?

Same, and I'll be damned if I can find a pair that don't like to slip out of my ears when I move around. Those 700's only cost around $20 more than the 500's, I think I'll give those a shot and see how they sound. A lot of reviews say they don't get muddy when you turn up the volume which is a huge plus for me. I personally went for better cans than the XBs... I have a set of Beyerdynamics.... Even without a headphone amp sounds great.. I am using a Marantz receiver output for it though.... But yea, try out the XBs...
