Thread: Good Easy to Install Replacement Tweeters?

It just sounds like I'm gonna blow out the speakers on lower volume when I flat-line the EQ. And the bass at higher volumes, flat-lined sounds... not really distorted, just... bad, and i really like a lil' extra bass most of the time!

You're getting into physics. There's a reason why you have a tweeter and mid. There's a reason why quality installations have sub-woofers. A mid-woofer can't play a 20hz frequency very well at all. It will end up damaging the voice coil before anything good happens.

Bottom line, you either have a speaker that can play as low as 20hz or you don't. Most mid-woofers do NOT play well below ~50hz. Mid-ranges typically don't play well below 125hz. A mid-woofer includes a mid-range and a tweeter. Two way setups which is what's installed in our vehicle are better at one, the other, or play both kinda blah.

So if you want a speaker that plays decent below, 125hz in our vehicles, you need a sub or at a minimum 3-way speaker setup. Even then, you need a sub if you have music that reaches deep.
