Crossover question?? + Sub Q

[MikeVXSS]

I recently stole my pioneer splits out of my work car cause the audio shop man clains they were comp splits (whatever differance that makes) and should not replace them. They do rock. However when i was replacing them into the commy i couldnt remember which DB the tweeters were plugged into. it has -3 Db and -6 Db slots. i plugged them into the 6 db slot and it seems to be alot more tweet than normal than the other car.

how does the -3 and -6 db thingymajig thing work? and whats better?

Also installed a sub and have noticed that it occasionaly gives a sharp punch insted of a nice bassy drone. is this the music im listening to or is it the amp setup or the box or something else? its an inclosed box 1 cu.

if anyone knows a site or a thread on tuning the amp can ya point us in the direction? just wna to learn about all the settings and dials and ****. as the booklet doesnt explain...

eg what Hz to have hpf or lpf, or do i go hpf flat or lpf, what bass boost if any. high input or low input? what gain? lol all help great thanx guys

ok after reading other threads ive relized i have more tweet cause the originals are stall in the dash... didnt even know they were there... do the have a crossover for them? as id like to take them out and keep them with the original woofers. do the rears have tweeters?

Should i just leave the original tweeters in there and disconnect mine? they are bigger. is bigger better? so many qustions.

wish i was an audio techy!!

cheers mate. ive just disconnected them and will go for a blat to see if the tweet has died down. im also wondering if its where i placed the aftermarket tweeters... see pics...

Put the tweeters where the stock ones are. Pioneer tweeters are notoriously bright (loud and painful) so they shouldn't be mounted so close to the listeners ears.
