How To Hot Rod Your Tweeters
If you've already bought your speakers but your ears find them fatiguing, you can experiment with your tweeters to improve their sound and increase your listening pleasure.
Try placing different fabrics in front of the tweeter (like silk or cotton) to diffuse the high frequencies and make the speakers sound softer. If you're feeling adventurous, you can get inside the speaker and change the passive crossover. If all else fails, you can always try replacing your tweeter with an aftermarket model. With a little patience, some tools, and the internet as a resource, you can replace your old and busted tweeters with some new high tech models, and enjoy smooth, non-fatiguing high frequencies. You also have the satisfaction of doing it yourself.
