Post Number: 1633 Registered: Mar-07 | I FINALLY 10 months later have installed my cdt comps and the sound and imaging is great but the tweets are deafening at volume 20 (and i listen usually at 26) how can i turn them down without effecting the mid woofers? |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9686 Registered: Jul-06 | Depending on which CDT crossovers you have, some have a a +/- 3 db switch. I run my DRT-25 tweets at -3 db. They are not harsh at all, sound very good but they are loud, were too loud for the mid. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9699 Registered: Jul-06 | I have the 480s. I don't think the 560 has the switch either. |

Silver Member Username: ExigeCDT, Audiopulse Dealer Post Number: 739 Registered: Nov-07 | Hey email me for any other questions you have Patrick and I'd be happy to help you out. There's no switch on the 560i crossover which (if I remember correctly) is what you have. Simply use the image tweeter output rather than the main tweeter output. This will give you a -3dB drop in the output. If you have any other questions or if you need further help with getting the tweeters tuned, drop me a line at mike@exigeaudio.com |
