Figawi Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 the tweeters in my dash are producing too much bass and the sound is distorted as a result. what can i do to reduce the level of bass coming from those speakers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderlord Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 the tweeters in my dash are producing too much bass and the sound is distorted as a result. what can i do to reduce the level of bass coming from those speakers?←tweeters shouldn't be able to make bass... their ballpark frequency is like 4000 to 20000 mhz. way out of the "bass" frequency range.. I think maybe yer speaker is fubar... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsat Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 If your system is completely stock then your speakers are probably blown.If these are speakers you put in yourself and you did not install the crossover / filter provided with the tweaters then they are probably blown.With a tweeter is does not matter if it can reproduce the frequecny or not, you will still kill it if you run it without the proper crossover.

The Reverend Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 With a tweeter is does not matter if it can reproduce the frequecny or not, you will still kill it if you run it without the proper crossover.←Yes, because it is still trying to produce those frequencies even if it cant.

BenW Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Doesnt the factory tweet just have a resistor (like a bass blocker at a certain freq?) to do that for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenW Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Driver850,Im gonna say what every other bozo here is thinking IMO, why not just spend some hard earned cash on a two way component set from Crystal or Infinity or IMAGE DYNAMICS that has a passive crossover box that KEEPS the tweets playing only the silky sweet sounds of ~3000Hz or above.I think the sound would improve over the factory paper for sure!

tboyko Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 There is no such thing as a frequency blocking resistor. There are capacitors however that do this, which is what volvo uses stock with their tweeters. If a capacitor burnt out, you would be getting no signal at all, not bass in your tweeters. If you are using stock tweeters, either your tweeter has blown (for whatever reason) or there is a problem with the signal path (unlikely).

BenW Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 WEll, i thought it was one of those two. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figawi Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 i have the infinity kappa component speakers in my car, but i didn't install the crossover for the tweeters because i forgot to take it out of the old car when i sold it. so i should probably replace those tweeters and buy capacitators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Tuning 850 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Put bass blockers on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve s Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 so do u have kappas all around in the 8 speaker slots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyROZen Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Put bass blockers on them.←im not sure about this but i somewhere i heard that bass blockers are active componets instead of passive, meaning they will suck some power from your speaker while it is block unwanted frequencies. maybe someone else could verify this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
