[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 90534, member: 34"] So I got rid of the squiggley EQ, and have only frequency contouring and wider-band EQ now. This cleared up a bit of sibilance, and the highs are sounding fairly clean now. The problem with using the 2-incher as a tweeter is that the top octave is only flat on-axis. There is a way around this: give the top a rising response. But then one would have toe the speakers in or out to get a good balance at the listening position. Reverting to a 3-way makes the sweet spot wider. I think the RS52 will work well in a car as a tweeter, as the seating position is fixed there. Would also help with sending less energy to the glass, so reflections will be attenuated. It could work. I must just say, also, that this Super8 surprises me. It is not the final word in bass resolution, but it can go deep (with EQ). A few of them in array will do fine, and I suspect it will also do good in a car. It is $70 for two from ApexJr.com.
