Low tweeter volume both sides 94 LS400
Hey. I posted this in the audio forum, and haven't gotten any bites.
The stock nakamichi in my 94 LS400 sounds OK, but the tweeters have very low volume output. All of the other speakers seem fine. Does anyone know where the crossover is for the door speaker and the tweeter? I heard that both the tweeter and the door speaker were fed by same wire..... Is there a crossover in the door? Any idea what the problem may be (amp, crossover, bad tweeter) and where to begin troubleshooting? Or maybe the tweeters just don't put out very much.........'
Thanks

hi,
i've got a 92 w/ same system. if you listen to most any factory component system, the tweeter actually puts out very little compared to other speakers. i have heard numerous cars and the output is all low-- maxima w/ bose, miata factory, etc, etc...
it's just the way the systems are set up--- it compliments the other speakers.
re: xover-- i don't know-- i just replaced my door speaker and i know that that speaker is putting out full range. which then means an actual xover is probably not being used. if it were, that speaker would put out only freq. below the tweeter range (3k or so). that is not the case.... so maybe the tweeter and door are being fed the same signal, with the tweeters just have a freq. blocker so they get freqs ABOVE 3k or so?? don't know...
