Yesterday, I was just listening to random crap on the radio, and it sounded pretty good. Bass strong and tight, better treble extension and smoothness. Though today, I've been out in the car for about the past hour streaming Tidal with music I'm familiar with. Turning the gains all the way down on the door speakers and playing with crossover points on the tweeters, I came to same conclusion that the caps on the tweeters roll off around 8 kHz.
Switching things around, I turned the gains all the way down on the tweeters and just listened to the door speakers. With the crossover point rather low, below 2 kHz, the tonal balance isn't too bad. Once you start getting up past 4 kHz, those door speakers start getting a bit muddy, cupped and honky sounding.
I'll definitely be upgrading those tweeters to the Memphis PRX27 drivers. The lower the crossover frequency on those the better.
Long story short, these last couple of posts should probably be over in the "Audio" section.
