I have a Cerwin Vega Hed 5.25" component set (I know, not the best, but I was young and still poor). I'm not too happy with the sound of the tweeters to much, they either seem too harsh or too quiet, depending in location. I do not have them yet mounted in a car, they are just chilling in my room. I also am now running them off of an MB quart passive x-over which helped them somewhat.

Can someone recommend some more ideas to help me solve my tweeter problem?

Change your tweeters. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

C-V tweeters are notorious for being just a teeny bit on the bright side...even the IT series tweeter were too bright...thats why I got rid of 'em. Another thing you could try that might help is to aim them about 30d off axis

If they are not installed in a car they won't sond like they were intended. how do you have them mounted in your room?

I would wait until you actually mount them in a car before making any decision on how they sound.

Tweek, 30 degrees off axis eh? I'm gonna keep it in mind.

Fat Whacker, I built some small boxes for em, .10 cu ft for now and I'm using them as pc speakers.

put a 2.2uf cap on that tweet and see what happens. (thats if they are 4 ohms)

CV computer speakers [img]smile.gif[/img] Hope u sheilded them.

Yeah, if the tweets are too bright, they may just need to be attenuated a bit.
