passive crossover adjustment for tweeter sensitivity

[dami2550]

I have Focal 165V2 components in the front. Woofers in doors (factory locations), tweeters on dash, cross-facing each seat, meaning passenger's tweeter faces driver and vice versa.
Passive crossovers set for 0dB on woofers and -6dB on tweeters.
I have factory headunit, PAC OEM-2 convert to RCAs, then goes to Rockford Fosgate Punch amp
Problem - tweeters are still too loud. I have tweeters down all the way in the head unit.

Question - is there a EASY way to silent tweeters even more (apart of buying new head unit, mounting it face down or wrapping it in cloth or something like that


Thanks!

Try re-positioning the tweeters into the footwell area pointing up towards the rear-view mirror.
Temporarily extend your cables and just try various positions and angles.

Here in th UK we use Blu tac to hold the tweeter in place whilst we try different positions and angles.

Not sure if you can get it over there, and before you ask what it is........http://www.brainyencyclopedia.com/en...l/blu_tac.html

OK, nevermind - found the real problem

And, since I'm using factory head unint and PAC OEM-2 to convert to "unamplified" signal, that's where the problem begins. Sounds either that OEM-2 has bad "conversion" or headunit puts out ****** signal. I switched OEM-2 input from low power to high power, it's somewhat better, still distorts too much.

And, I have to mount woofers better because not much bass in front, only mid-range and highs.

Worst comes to worst - replace the headunit with that new Alpine 9855, that's gotta fix it then.
