Installed My Tweeters Today - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ranger SVO · 03-14-2010, 07:09 PM

I started on the sound system in my Yaris.

I have found that the crossover is the weak link in all tweeters from all manufacurers. So I learn to design and build my own. This way I can optimize the tweeter for the car.

I had a choice between an 18dB Per Octave with response shaping and a 24dB per octave filter. Both crossover points were set to 5200Hz. The manufacturer crossover was a 12dB per octave at 6000HZ

After listening to all three crossovers, the 18dB per Octave won. And the differance was huge. The absolute worst was the 12dB, the 24dB was second best, but it would draw you attension right to the tweeter. The slope was just to steep.

The 18dB worked.

By the way, I got the idea for the tweeter placement here on Yaris world

The noise he was talking about (my opinion because I didnt hear it for myself), is typical of a metal dome tweeter with cheap (chinese) electolytic caps.
