I angled both my tweeters towards the windscreen. No loss in details. In the end, it would boils down to your equipments.

Does your front component cross over allows you to step down the tweeters? Lower it down. Usually, a new comp set would be at 0db. When I got mine done, I set it down to -3db. Its not so bright.

my compset is wif passive crossover,
so not much i can tuned, and i already tuned it to the lowest
however there is 2 button on the xover
1 is 3 option, 3db,0,-3db...i set it to -3db
another is 6db,full<<<this one is wat? i set it to 6db
and yeap my tweeter is sumthing like left tweeter to passenger right ear, and right to my left ear, almost is facing me straight
i also think of placing it like wat the bro suggest here, left to my right ear, so i get clarify here and i'll try tat.
besides, got bro suggest me to place flat the tweeter which facing upward, does this sound nice??

Craziechild,

Yes. Its part of my tweeter nature for being bright. My installer did a bad job in doing the A-pillar. But also due to the construction of the A-pillar itself has limitations.

Kangyoon,

What components are you using? I dont get you when you mentioned the setting.

i think the first one is for your tweets and the second one is for your mid... not confirmed as i dun own and seen one of these passive blocks yet... my opinion is facing upward will be hard to get the centre stage... do you hav an amp to power the component? if yes, try to use -6db on the treble and bass... my tweets were very bright for me too last time when i run on 0db... then when i set to -6db, the harshness problem solved...


hmm... kangyoon... interesting thing but i never think bout an install like tht.. but anyhow... thanks for sharing...

cheers...

ya a lot of senior suggest me to get a 2nd hand one if tight budget
instead of buying a chap ayam.
so the fact is most of the case a 2nd hand amp is good for use?
i mean did amplifier go thru wear and tear normally?

just now i just repositioning my tweeter,
left side point to head of driver, right site to passeger.
and yes the sound produce is much better than b4!
but placing a damn big tweeter on iswara dashboard is hard
now its stand firm there but it doesn look good,
and wif iswara "super vibration" sometime it "clap hand" wif my windscreen~~
now, anywhere i can get those dashboard carpet?
i wan long and thin like those oldiest singer put on body one..aha

amp gone thru wear and tear? hmm... never come across tht... but IMHO the best way to protect your amp is to run it as cold as possible tht is by giving it a good ventilation... add a computer fan for it if you wan...

and those cloth, my hometown here we always for to "cushion shop" where they deal with all kinds of cushion... these ppl do those fabriction work for our cars here... but in the west i cannot confirm is the same...

cheers...

I think it is running it at its optimum operating temperature.
