I know this should be in Audio/Electronics, but we all know that NO ONE ever goes to that forum so I decided to post this hear to maybe get a few replies before it gets moved.

I am currently running MA Audio 6.5 components and Boston Acoustic 2-way 6.5 Rally speakers off of a JL 300/4 amplifier. I want to add a couple of tweeters.

The amp has all of the gains at the minimum and it is kind of loud now, but I am looking to get some more high end. I was thinking of mounting 2 tweeters in the center console (slide out ash tray face) and then two more on the rear shoulder belt covers (sunk in).

Questions are - What are some decently priced tweeters that I could just wire into the existing speakers? And what would be the best wiring procedure to run the added 4 tweeters?

 

I would re-thik where you want to put those tweeters. I would keep it simple and put them in the pillars instead of the ashtray. I know someone that did this and it sounded pretty bad. I just wanted to throw that in real quick. As far as wiring, i have the mb quart components, and they sound great, but that is a kit. I would recommend that the most. Mixing and matching hasnt had the best results. Just my .02, sorry if i just took up time.

 

i already have really loud components....i just want more high end.

do you recomend any tweeters? if so what size?

 

aluminum dome tweeters are going to be loud and piercing.. silk dome tweeters are going to be suttle yet still loud..

you want tweeters to burst your ear drums gets MB Quartz.. you want tweeters for listening music get Diamond Audio

 

From where and how much?

I would also like to add for your saftey Jay.. i have spent over $3000 with Anton this year alone on stereo equipment and have never had a prob..

Anton.. i need another pair of Hex Components and an MTX amp.. email me for details..

 

if your looking for a suggestion, I have always been preferential to the infinity kappa series. They match perfectly and enought highs and mids without making your ears bleed without all of that "breaking glass". just my .00002 cents

 

your just gonna ruin the SQ of your system by adding all those tweeters. If anything do what i did and convert the rear deck to hold 6x9's, you WILL notice a huge difference in SQ and DB levels.

Ant

 

what 6x9's did you use? come on AIM..

 

you don't know anything about music.. 6x9's? are you an idiot? sound is round my friend

 

1st of all watch who you call an idiot tough guy, you dont know me!! and second ive been installing for about 6yrs and iam an MECP 1st class certfied tech. So dont lecture me about car-audio.

Jay: im running Pioneer Premier 3way 6x9's and Eclipse 6.5" comps up front, all off my KickerZX460

Ant

 

1st of all tweeters won't affect SQ.. it depends on what tweeters you have.

2nd of all 6 1/2 produce better SQ than 6x9's.. if you are looking for SPL sure 6x9's maybe be better.. better surface area and will be louder.. for SQ.. 6 1/2 will will be best because sound is round and the waves are not distored.

3rd of all you are running 4 speakers off 1 amp? and you are going to tell me you know anything about sound quality? worse off you are running a 4 channel amp at that?

hey.. i know people who are MSCE certified and can't setup a simple network.. your certification doesn't mean ****.. it just means you know how to study and take a test..

 

the JL amps boast true power.. ie 500/1 is a solid mono 500 watts. 300/4 is a solid 75 watts x 4. Yes I know it isn't going to win tons of SPL shows or anything like that, but I just want it to be loud enough for me.. not for judging purposes.

 

why the *uck would i need more than one amp to power my highs when i dont even compete, let alone really care about metering my system and having it tuned so precisely? I have my system setup for my needs, not to compete with.
Id love to see you go pass the MECP 1st class exam, even after studying.

Jay: well talk more about this elsewhere.

Ant

 

jay your system is sick my momo tweeters are very high pitched

 

I have 3 amps.. KX120.1 for my Diamond Audio M561 Components ... KX120.1 for my Diamond Audio Hex 6mx3 Woofers and KX600.1 for my IDMax 12 inch Sub.. i don't compete ither.. but i bet you my car has better SQ and SPL than yours does.. how about the next major meet we compare.. see who has better SQ and SPL..

to break it down for you...

KX120 puts out 120 watts RMS to my Diamond Audio M561 (Fronts)
KX120 puts out 140 watts RMS to my Diamond Audio 6mx3 (Rear)
KX600 puts out 800 watts RMS to my IDMax 12

again i don't compete.. but if you shop at the right places (sweetsound2001 aka Anton) you don't pay as much and you have a sweet sounding system..

but like i said.. if you want to have a sound off at a major meet.. let me know
