ok another dumb question

I have rainbow cmx265's in the front, when listening how will the voice be split up between the tweeter and the mid? right now it seems most of the voice is coming out of the mid, is this normal....thanks for the help....Jim

What are they crossed at? Where are they mounted/aimed? It may just be a slight mounting change or crossover point to fix it.

BTW .. the only 'stupid questions' are the ones unasked.

That's normal, the midrange is designed for just that it reproduces everything in the frequencies between the tweeter and the sub. The tweeter is only for the upper sound band, things like cymbals, guitar riffs and other high frequencies. Mid is for voice and other "middle" frequencies and the sub handles everything below this.

Thanks Don....really enjoying the speakers....the guy who installed them set them up for door panel, both tweeter and mid are in the stock positions on my 05 screw, just wondering if voice should be coming out of the mids, I thought that voice would come through the tweeter ......... I am still learning ....thanks, Jim

Not a problem bud. Always happy to hear that !

As posted above technically thats where the vocal would come from, but certainly shouldnt be localized the way it seems to me that your hearing it. The tweet is responsible for a much higher range, but will still express some vocals. Overall both should blend well together and not make it so much focused on one driver.
