hi guys,
an update on my ICE.
Like i mentioned earlier, i find the tweets a little bright for my taste. i had a talk with the pros(Gunbir, Jb and Mukul) and i had a solution in an instant.
What i have done is a little different from what they suggested (actually i was too tired and my brain was not working to full potential at that time so i forgot a thing or two lol).
earlier, the mid bass' and the tweeters were powered by 2 channels and the sub on the other 2 on a pio 944 amplifier. The rear fills were powered by the rear channels of the HU.
I don't listen to the rears at all but my wife does and she like likes the sound coming from all around.
what i did is, put the tweeters on the rear channels of the head unit. paralleled the rears with the midbass' on the amp using a toggle switch.
now, with the rears off, the midbass' are getting around 75w each(not much of a difference loudness wise) as opposed to 60-65w with the tweets.
with the rears switched on, the midbass with the rears present a 2ohm load to the amp. the amp puts out 125w @ 2ohms 14.4v. they now sound much better and my wifey is happy. :-)
Im happy too as now, the setup sounds perfect. But sometimes, some songs have less HF content and can sound dull. In that case, i fade the midbass a little and turn up the Volume. This way, i can adjust the levels(by fading) and i find it much better than cutting or boosting the treble.
Im satisfied and very happy with my setup now.
cheers
