MB Quart tweeter question
I posted here a few weeks ago my v-e-r-r-r-r-y bright MB Quart
components. I eventually had a set of MBQ MusiComp crossovers to try and alleviate the brightness of the tweeters another 6 db's. Well, that didn't help. so, what I ended up doing was stuffing a wad of tissue paper into the tweeter enclosures between the tweeter and the speaker grille. The result is that I now have the sound I desire. My question is : will this harm the tweeter in any way? By this I mean, excessive heat, dissipation, etc... JJM |

MB Quart tweeter question
its fairly common practice in PRO AUDIO and STUDIOS to get
the desired tweeter attenuation with tissue paper... I dont think it should actually touch the tweeter diaphram though...

MB Quart tweeter question
Yes it will damage it! Ever put your hand on a sub while it was playing?
That's basically what you just did to your tweeter. If it isn't dead yet, it will be shortly. Did you try reversing the leads on the passive crossover input on the passenger side? Also make sure you don't have the loudness or any other treble boosts turned on. Paul Vina "John Matlock" wrote in message y.com...

MB Quart tweeter question
It's not touching the actual diaphragm of the tweeter. It sits atop the
tweeter between the diaphragm and the grille. JJM In article 3Ujeb.471129$cF.152706@rwcrnsc53, "Paul Vina" wrote: Yes it will damage it! Ever put your hand on a sub while it was playing?

That is worded SO differently than "so, what I ended up doing was stuffing a
wad of tissue paper into the tweeter enclosures between the tweeter and the speaker grille.". It should work fine. Paul Vina "John Matlock" wrote in message y.com...
