Straight to the point, here's the set-up and then the problem...
Audison 5-channel Voce Amp. Active Audison Voce components in the front taking up 4 channels and the 5th channel for a JL W6v2 ProWedge (sealed box) sub in the trunk. Kenwood Excelon head unit.
Set-up questions so you don't have to ask about them....
The sensitivity of the amplifier is set as Audison suggests, at minimum except for sub channel, which is set 3db higher per Audison 'Advanced Manual'. Sensitivity of Bit Ten D is set at position 2 (about 10 o'clock) for all channels (though I'll admit that I don't quite get how they're labeled and what I'm truly adjusting). I have no boost at any frequency on the EQ, only cuts.
Now the issue....
When certain bass transients hit, I get loud noise coming out of the tweeters that sounds like a rattle. But it is definitely noise coming out of the tweeter. I can eliminate it by backing the sensitivity of the sub amp channel, but then I have a very thin sound and almost no bass headroom (passable but modest at best bass at full sub volume). I can also moderate it by backing off of the system volume as controlled by the Bit Ten D (not the head unit's volume control). So the end result is I am not getting the proper balance of sub channel to everything else and I am getting nowhere near the bass output I was getting before the Bit Ten D, though the sound quality overall is unquestionably better. HOW DO I GET RID OF THE TWEETER NOISE AND GET MY SUBWOOFER HEARDROOM BACK!?!?!?!?!
