heard that the tweeters on this can be harsh. is there an adjustment on the crossover to either lower the volume of the tweeter or the upper frequensy

There is am adjustment for 0 db and -3 db but no free adjust get a radio with a nice en and these speakers perform very well
239695
Yes, and I don't agree with that rumor. The tweeters are actually quite good.
239696
You have a screw plug that you put the positive wire on 0db or -3db. But, in my experience with them...-3 isn't enough. If your tweeter is a good distance away from your woofer, these really could use -5db. But honestly? Compared to the polk db6501s, these tweeters are very low quality. Even if you turn them down, they sound so tinny. Which is odd, for such a good sized tweeter. These aren't horrible speakers, but I see them as more 50$ worth. Not 100$
239697
Yeah..there's an adjustment...I remember it being -3dB but it's been a while since my install.
239698
I really don't know yet haven't installed them yet but there's a setting on the crossover to lower the disable down (-3db)

I wired them into my factory tweets. But honestly shop around. I used to have spl1's and loved them. These spl4's are garbage. No real clear high range. If you can find spl1's go for it. I've also had good luck with power acoustic tweets.

The tweeter part of the speakers have built in crossovers, but not the main speaker. You can still damage them if you allow to much bass through them.

I got some feedback when using the amplifier in a small room and at high volume. Try lower volume or any close wall at front. If feedback is always present, maybe is defective.

The horizontal dispersion of these is incredibly wide, but the vertical dispersion is much narrower - assuming 6' listening distance and the speakers sitting flat, you would start losing top end about 4' above the tweeters. This could be solved with some mopads or similar with an upward tilt though. As for filling a 10' x 10' room with sound, it will, but with nowhere near the bass impact they have in near-field. I use a pair of these for outdoor listening at low-moderate levels, and add 12dB of EQ below 110Hz, with a 30Hz 24dB/octave high pass filter, and they sound like much bigger speakers than they really are, but with the level of EQ applied obviously can't be pushed hard. In a room with careful placement to optimize bottom end, you could probably get away with 3-6dB of boost in the bottom end to get them filling the room. That said, adding the LSR310S would be the best solution for room filling sound with these monitors...

Yea move your mouth away.. or with my cb I turned the volume down and it helped. I love this speaker it's extremely loud for the price.

Hi James your comments were a Very Nice Surprise Thank YOU very much :-)I have also discovered that the reason I noticed the volume was a bit low was because I had the attenuator switch on the back in the wrong position because once I switched I noticed the volume increased which solved the low volume problem.I would post that online for others but I don't know how, sorryRegards, Gordon

Installed on a Volvo c30. I had to make some adjustment to fit in place the new tweeter. Also my review wasn't good on the midrange speaker. I had to reinstalled it using the original speaker housing. And the difference was day and night. Make sure don't leave any gaps between your speakers and interior door panels ( like using scosche adapters) Very good speakers

I simply sat the tweeters on my two front speakers. Ran a wire from each - and + on the tweeters right into the - and + on my front speakers. They have built in crossovers so it seems to work fine this way.

yes they do come with a crossover and i would use them they are perfect match for the speakers it will sound clear and filter out the bad stuff most likely there is either an amp supplying power to just that tweeter or there is a resister in line that is acting like a crossover in you 05 acura in either case i would us the crossover that is with the pioneers, i have them on there own amp 4 channel for my highs and mids very happy .

Product description: 2K crossover point using the included capacitor. If you wish to cross it higher as a super tweeter, I'd suggest you contact Part's Express tech support for the correct capacitor. Cheers.

That tweeter much be a bit much because its rated 500rms where as the crossovers can only handle 150rms. The crossovers are really made for a good components style hook up, that tweeter looks like more competition style hook up and may require its own amp to push them to there full potential. :-)

This sound is not normal. I had the same issue with both my speakers when they arrived. I was too curious to send them back, so I took out the speaker and tweeter and found a piece of wood corner brace that had came unglued. I also noticed the crossovers came loose from the inside of the enclosures and were hanging by the wires... I remounted the crossover, took out the loose corner pieces, and put the speakers back together and they woked fine. I'm still using them, and I like the way they sound, but I am disappointed in the build quality.

Not directly. Adjusting the treble on your radio is the closest you can come to adjusting them. Using an amplifier if you're not already also helps with the harshness significantly.

Thank you for suggesting the settings; I had played around with the other sound settings ( Rock, Pop, etc.) buy didn't try the Equalizer settings. I tried adjusting them and am well satisfied now.

You can adjust the volume with a switch. Two options: high and low, nothing in between

Hey Michael, they didn't come with crossovers. On the system I ran, there wasn't a need for a crossover. Also, these speakers dont come with tweeters.
