Bad stereo sound

[bankswood]

Guys I appreciate your passion and assistance but lets calm down. Let me ask this. In the front doors of my Yukon the original setup had a separate tweeter my new speaker has a tweeter mounted on top of the main speaker. I did not disconnect the original tweeter when I installed the new speakers giving me two tweeters on each door. Could that cause a problem with the sound quality.

i woulnt be a bad idea to disconnect it. it is a very cheap tweeter. chances are the ones in your coaxs will sound better alone.

listen... i am not going to get into an internet pissing match with you over theory of sound. i have been an installer/sound off competitor for 18 yrs. i can assure you phasing makes a huge difference in sound. i encourage you to do some testing for yourself and report back!!!

and just to clear this up a little more. you guys keep mentioning speaker damage. the op asked about bad sound not damaged speakers. phase will not damage speakers. i agree the to tune a high end system we often change phasing for imaging purpose. but i believe that is a little over the ops head. i have built and helped tune cars that went to iassca finals and placed. eqing and phase tuning are a must!! but for an everyday system starting with all speakers in phase as a baseline is very important!!

I wouldn't have gone to the lengths I did had you not been so rude.

you obviously have no idea what you are talking about!!! educate yourself how a speaker works and creates sound before you give that advice again!!

That's what pissed me off.

I'd bet that the OP wouldn't notice a difference in phasing unless they heard them side by side. Many people can't even tell the difference side by side. So how was I wrong in stating that he probably wouldn't notice?

i apologize.. in hind sight i should have approached it differently. car audio is so subjective based on experiences. i do this everyday for a living so i tend to look at most people as not knowing a lot and i start with the basics and work from there. in re reading your posts i dont believe your advice was wrong just maybe over his head a little. any way i appreciate passion for good sound! it looks like we both have it!!

yep I too have been in the car audio biz now for about 26 years now... at least you both finally got onto the same page.
