Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 6785 Registered: Aug-05 | i personally prefer the sound of Silk Tweeters...they are more laid back, not as aggresive. if oyu like extremely loud tweeters....then get metal, if oyu want a more natural sounding...get silk(my opinion, as you can tell, i have had bad experiences with metal tweets.lol) |
Silver Member Username: Nyyfan13VA USA Post Number: 257 Registered: Jul-06 | haha, alrite well i think im gonna go with the second setup with the crystal and mb quart speakers. im gonna take a chance and see how the metal tweeters sound and hopefully i like it. thanks for the help. |
