Don't be hatin on the IDs. :) They're ID OEM mids, not exactly CX62. An evolution that didn't hit the mainstream. I doubted that 25w would be enough, but I trusted the pros and it's really quite good. It'll do until the amp gets replaced when I go 3-way fronts someday I Only Hate ID Mid & Tweets, I'm Running ID MAX 10 2 of them:biggthumpup:

I'll see if possibly it's the cables. They're multishielded, lots thicker than the twisted pair, but who knows.

I had the same tweeters in my integra up in the a pillar. It took a lot of work to get it to sound right. I am guessing because the window was loading the tweeter and cause a hump or a rise in the freq responce. I had to cut 5k a lot with a wide q parametric eq to get it sounding decent.

Why did you bandpass the tweeters? Where did you mount them? It almost sounds like it could be a phase problem. You should try swapping the + and neg of one and possibly both of the tweeters. If they are out of phase it could cause a hole in the freq response. They may both be out of phase from the mids and trying it different ways should be able to tell you. It is odd that it would go away and then come back. That sounds like an equipment issue if it persists.
