i have the newest 5.25" mm series component speakers and are my front speakers in my audi a4. Ill leave a picture of how they were installed and the amp i am using to power them.

I have been having this issue but it has been brought to my attention as more time went on since they have been installed. They are currently hooked up to a 4 channel elemental designs amplifier that is is providing plenty of power to them and decent power to my 10" sub woofer. Providing aroun90 watt each @ 3 ohms.

For some reason, they sound extremely high pitched caused by the tweeter. The mid is much lower then the tweeter but even if u stick your head down in between the speakers you hear the tweeter a lot. even with my treble way down on -8 and the mid @ 0, bass is also @ -8 since i have the sub and all.

The music sounds to high pitched and rock sounds ear piercing when the guitar comes in. I will provide a link for my amp but do the speakers maybe have to be rewired to send more power to mid and less to tweeter? Is it possible the installer set the crossover on the wrong setting? Advice would be great thanks guys!

    I don't have a clue, but give it time for someone who might, or for better results you could try the: "On The Move" section down lower on the main forum page. Thats where most of the auto audio guys hang out.
    Good luck

    On your crossover box there might be some switches that say like +2 or 0 or -2, try setting it to the lowest which is -2. that may help

    yes the crossover is set to -3 and not 0. I think i might need a resistor before the tweeter so it draws less current. That or i need to put a piece of tape over the tweeter.:confused:

    a audio control module i think is going to be too much and cant spend that amount.

    anyone have any other ideas?
