tweeter freq adjustment help please.
I have upgraded component door speakers with 1" tweeters. They sound a little overpowering with the highs. How can I adjust them to mellow them out a little. I have a Diamond Audio D6 5.1 amp with high pass filters and freq adjustments. Also high pass bypass switch. Where do I start?
Thanks!
Thanks!

From their website:
An additional Clarus-level enhancement is the inclusion of two-way passive crossovers containing
the same crossover and tweeter attenuation topology as Clarus, all encased in a display-ready
housing with gold-plated screw terminals

If they do, I never saw any switches, screws, *****, or other way to adjust them. But then, I wasn't looking for any adjusting when installed. I figured the amp makes the adjustments or filters. When it comes to this kind of stuff, I'm the village idiot.

It's more than likely a peak around 3khz in your car rather than the tweeters being too loud in general. Do you have EQ?
Also, try swapping the wiring on the tweeters too... old trick.
Anyway, thta PDF has some great high resolution pictures that show absolutely nothing useful. Sometimes tweeters have a +3 0 -3 terminal, and you just wire one side to it.
Being that I see a group of three red terminals there, I'd bet this is the case.
Sometimes tweeters are blamed for this issue and aren't the root cause.

So nothing I can do at the amp with Highpass filter? I really don't want to take the door panels off to see what if anything can be changed on the crossovers. Guess I could turn down the treble on the head unit and see if that helps. The tweeters are nice and clear, just to me I like more midrange.

Will try that, they sound much better when I turned down the treble on the head unit to just under the half way mark. My son likes the sound out of the tweeter but for some reason my 62 year old ears likes a little more mellow.

How much EQ flexibility do you have? You have a sub, right?
Where are your crossovers set at?
I'd be willing to take a listen to it one of these days. My laptop I use for audio testing only has a 10 minute battery on it though.

No EQ stock head unit, amp is Diamond Audio D6 5.2. I have 2 subs. Amp has Highpass and Lowpass and crossovers on the amp are fixed at 80hz which can be defeated by a switch. Hope this helps. I don't know what the speakers components are set at but whatever the factory set them at. They were installed by a professional stereo installer so I don't have that information.
