Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would leave the tweeters as they are if it we me. I'd try changing the cap as Ron suggested if your not happy with the tweeter performance.

Quote:"I would seriously consider changing the value of capacitor (151) to 4.7 uF, non-polarized. This should help the performance of the tweeters by lowering the crossover frequency to around 4000 cycles, permitting more of the midrange audio frequencies to be reproduced by the tweeters, as well as the high end."

My cents

Bill

It's not what you don't know that hurts you it's what you know that's not so.
