Is there any way to adjust the tweeter dB level? I find the component tweeters to be way too bright

Not directly. Adjusting the treble on your radio is the closest you can come to adjusting them. Using an amplifier if you're not already also helps with the harshness significantly.

No. You want to treat these more like tweeters. They sound good on the high end, but trying to put a lot of mid-frequency and low end bass through them will only make them crackle.

I have an output amplifier (DJ Stuff) that I use anyway so I didn't notice anything flat. Try boosting you Bass setting in yours computers EQ

Yes you can adjust low, mid, and highs, balance, fade, loudness, way more adjustments than I need. You can change display colors or set it to random colors, plenty of preset equalizer functions, USB port that I use for Pandora with my i5. It does more than I can list without going through the manual again. Plenty enough power that I can easily drown out the wind noise with the top off my Jeep at 70mph

put the gain at 75%, then adjust to 75db reference level with all speakers with receiver controlsuse 80hz crossover on receiver for starting point depending on how low your speakers can go, music you may want to go lower to 70hz if your speakers are decent enough

I heard a lot of noise as well, that is before i bought a dedicated audio interface, like an m-audio m-track, preSonus, focusrite, etc.. If you're not using one, then i'd say get that first. I have no noise now at all settings. From -30db, and i usually have my speakers set at the +6db and nothing. i'm also using the 1/4" to 1/4" plug into the balanced inputs. If you're using an audio interface, then i'd say call customer support and get it fixed.

Thank You for the reply. yes I did mean DB the settings are 0 DB and -3Db I set it at -3db for now. I am till waiting for my sub to arrive. I got a Alpine SWR-T10 10" 1800W 4-Ohm Type-R Shallow-Mount Car Audio Subwoofer. I will take your advice thank You

I had the same problem. There is a button called "Level". When you enter this space you can vary the volume of your bass and the cd, independently. I've found that some recordings require changing the settings but this should solve the problem. If not ask again and we'll dig deeper.

The lights will come on with the music. The louder you play, the brighter they are. The tweeters activate most often.

I'm not familiar with the terminology you're using but I hooked mine up to be in parallel with the assoc. output BUT I installed a .22ufd capacitor on the positive input of the tweeter speaker to protect it from the lower frequencies. I hooked these up to the front and rear outputs of the sound system. It give the effect of having a different sound out of each speaker even if 2 were connected to the same output line.

do the 'mods', i.e., at least remove the tweeters from the faceplates and seal them to the faceplates/tweeters mating surfaces with plumbers putty, and super glue each woofer cones' shield can to the baskets.damping these with 4" of rockwool bats behind the drivers an two inches on the rest of the interior surfaces (save for the duct exhaust areas) will yield hifi speakers on the cheap ;)

Currently there is no mid-range adjustment capability (at least in the latest firmware version 3.0. The cool thing about the bass and treble controls is that they are hardware based, directly adjusting the amplitude of both frequency ranges on the Wolfson DAC itself - not a software-based eq. There is an older beta firmare (2.14 beta, I believe - very similar in design to the latest release 3.0, but implemented an extra software eq function that seemed to have a subtle effect on the sound

You have a screw plug that you put the positive wire on 0db or -3db. But, in my experience with them...-3 isn't enough. If your tweeter is a good distance away from your woofer, these really could use -5db. But honestly? Compared to the polk db6501s, these tweeters are very low quality. Even if you turn them down, they sound so tinny. Which is odd, for such a good sized tweeter. These aren't horrible speakers, but I see them as more 50$ worth. Not 100$

FWIW-after replacing the stock terminal connector plates with good quality speaker wire leads try connecting the + (red) speaker wire lead to the top (+ hi freq tweeter section) and the - (black) speaker wire lead to the bottom (woofer section) to further improve detail and presence. Try it, you should hear a difference.

have to go into the sound menu and then manual set up the DB level, but I noticed that depending on the meda the stero is playing the amplitude levels change on the speakers

My experience is the opposite... too much solid, rich bass, so I keep the volume knob located on the subwoofer control panel turned down to about 15%. Surprising for such an inexpensive system. Assure your connections, assure the subwoofer volume is tuned up, try a different audio cable between your sound source and subwoofer, try a different sound source. If none of these things work, consider returning them for replacement.

Hi I used it with really good results with a couple of small "JBL Control One" speakers and they did work fine, even though their sensitivity is on the lower side at just 87dB/W/m. Some speakers with higher sensitivity would even give you more volume. I think this little baby is capable of driving to a good level a small system if you are not unrealistic with your expectations.I myself have moved on to a "NAD D3020" but that is another ball park. But I am not getting rid of the TP30, I do like it.
