Does anyone have experience running/ installing a 2-way active setup that went from a tweeter in the corner dash location pointed up at the windshield to a wideband in the same location?
I currently have a pair of SB29RDNC tweets in this location which sound great. BUT, I noticed that tuning the woofers in the front lower door position (with a helix p six) is challenging with my legs and other structures/obstacles; plus the woofers are off axis which becomes more of an issue at higher frequencies.
Admittedly the off axis issues and beaming aren’t too bad as I run a set of alpine z15m (5.25”), but obstacles are still an issue.
I have a pair of Audiofrog GS25s that I could replace the tweeters with and instead of crossing them at 2kHz (as the tweets are now), I could cross the GS25s much lower at around 200-300 Hz. This could get me a large frequency range free of obstruction and up on the dash.
I imagine that I may lose a little top end sparkle with the GS25s, but with a good tune I wonder how noticeable it would be.
Anyone with experience doing or installing something like this with the GS25s, HAT L3SE, HAT unity, audible physics RAM 2, etc?
I am really interested in the benefits achieved by going to a wideband and moving so much of the frequency response up on the dash as opposed to down by my feet.
Or, would this be a big step backwards?
(I know...a 3-way would be better but I’m not interested in fabricating something for the midrange; really just looking to maximize things with the OEM locations)
Thanks!
