    I've always preferred the sound of soft dome tweeters, i find metal dome usually sound a little harsh

    Can you easily add a boot subwoofer to this system?

    Being that I was a previous car audio installer and audiophile I want the software to control the active crossover points and level of filtering 6/12/24 db per octave and time alignment. Does the dsp have a 30 band parametric eq? Of course I need two microphones to adjust the eq watching the real time analyzer in the software with pink noise to also to adjust the sound stage on both front seats.

      Hi,
      Hope you are well,
      I am not sure why you are asking these questions if you are such a pro. Yes, we can do that as part of tuning. Thank you

    Awesome video bro.
    Your explanation was top notch!!!!!!!!!
    I just subscribed
    Wish I found this video earlier.
    I just bought 4 Alpha One midrange door speakers.
    Was looking at the tweeters and subwoofers and saw that all of the prices have increased so I'm not buying them anymore.

    Do you use an off the shelve wiring harness to plug into the the Audison amp as the harmon kardon amps use different connections?

      @@pj7008 I just can’t see that at all. Most people do go for a designated sub as no underseat solution gives much bass but it definitely gives more than the factory ones. I can only comment on our installs and work but I have never had this issue and we do a lot of BMW’s
