i know i'm resurrecting the dead here, but i don't give a funk...
so, i've been loving this fix, but lately there have been a few cds that have some annoying upper mid/lower treble distortion when played loud. i seem to have fixed this by using this:
parts express 8.2 uf cap and this:
parts express .05 mH coil
this lifts the frequencies the tweeter plays as well as the frequencies the mid in the door plays. this seems to have helped a lot.. before the tweeters were playing 4khz and up, while the mids handled below 4khz.
now the mids go up to 6khz and the tweeter play from 5khz up. it's only a lift of 1khz for the tweeters, but it seems to have helped, and bringing the mids up to 6khz has helped fill in the missing mids with this stereo.. i'll post more after a few days of listening.
update: sooo.. this didn't quite do it. so i bought new tweeters:
tweeter. they're the same price as those from the OP, but they have a larger frequency response and can handle lower frequencies. so far they sound great. less bright than those listed in the OP and less distorted at higher volumes.. i still have the caps and coils listed above. i am too lazy to change them back. i will report back after more listening time.
just got in from listening.. these tweeters are fokking amazing! they are clear and crisp, but not as bright as the dayton tweeter from the original post. they are a lot smoother and do not get distorted as easily at high volumes. give these a shot with the caps and coils listed in the OP, i think they will rock! i'm even considering putting my old caps back in to get these to play more mids..
