i "hide" the tweeter behind the sat grill so that the tweeter is not visible from front...

wah...then connect the tweeter to the wire connector at the back there? deep deep....

Any tweater will do? or do I have to adhere to wattage or amperage?

fyi, i'm using super dome tweeter (200W peak) which actually for car audio purpose...so, the impedance will be 4 ohms only. Anyway, it's better to use 8 ohms tweeter to match the impedance but it's hard to find 8 ohms tweeter for that kind of size (i want small size). For the wattage, you need to see your amplifier wattage. Just make sure your tweeter wattage is equal or higher than your amplifier wattage to prevent your tweeter from getting fried under high volume. For the amperage, i never encounter any tweeter with amperage ratings...

the crossover is passive and most basic filter only...consisting of a single capacitor connected in series with the tweeter (very small capacitor not visible in the pic)... a single capacitor is not a real crossover, it just help to filter out low frequency up to certain point...
a real passive or active crossover will be a lot better in this case which will make the sound "cleaner" ... since i prefer small and space saving, a single capacitor will do all the job ...

Painless for you to read, but that just shows that he put in a lot of good work into it.
Good job ADJ
Waiting for the individual reviews...
Btw, what driver revisions did you use for each card?
And i do agree that creative's bloatware... um... i mean "user interface" is kinda sucky

yup . the point of having a review is for the mainstream users to read and understand. thus a painless review is easy to understand, and achieves the purpose of a review...

Great, that's great info. So, if I wanna add the tweeter to my Z560, then I just need to purchase one that can withstand 53 watts with 8Ohms impedence since the subwoofer amplifies only 53 watts to satellites?

Thanks, and hope you dun mind these silly questions.

for 8 ohms tweeter, anything more than 50W will do...for 4 ohms tweeter, better to get at least 100W (this is due to the half impedance of the rated 8 ohms of the amplifier, so wattage has to be doubled)...
anyway, lower wattage tweeter also can be used without problem unless you're driving them at mad volume or playing constant high frequency sine wave at high volume

I think U get the Gigawork S750 and Revolutio 7.1

Thanks. It's informative. Not sure if I should try detaching my Morel car audio tweeters to test or not.

But as it is, the Z560 is quite sharp pitched already that it is hurting ears when played out loud, would adding this tweeter in sweeten the sound? Or should I be adding in a mid-range speaker instead?

Cheers.

for me, it Z-560 doesn't sound "sharp" pitch...but rather a bit "harsh"
i add a tweeter just to compensate on low high frequency on the satellite...
as for adding a mid-range driver, i think it'll be redundant since the Z-560's satellites are not bad in producing mid-range frequencies...
anyway, you can have a try then let me know the result...

So for you at the moment, adding in the tweeter does indeed sound more balanced and warmer... ok, I will try once I got the stuff in.

yes my 96XT can fit into my ideq. the probl is i can see the cooler on my raddy is probably too close to audigys card if i decide to put in

so damn close. havent buy it (the audigy) though

in a limbo. wheter i stuck with ideq's soundstorm or..
