speaker help

[joel nevin]

For sound quality purpose it is beneficial to have the
tweets as close to the mids as possible as this way
you won't have separation problems, so that the sound
will emit from one source per side. Making a Co-axial
speaker takes care of this problem and also remedies
the problem of not having to mount a separate tweet.
Although construction and sound is compromised a
little. As now you have a peice of plastic blocking
the midranges soundwaves and has to be mounted in a
sleek way. Some were designed where the tweeter mount
is mounted thru the center of the mid in thru the
voice coil, but the gap was not 1/8". More like 0.01"
and the tweeter wires were run thru pinholes in the
cone using tinsel wires.
Or the wires were run on the inside thru the center of
the mount-tube.
Others have separate mounting pods that mount to the
rim of the driver basket and wires are run along
channels under the pod and connected via spade
connectors that way. Co-axial speakers are easy to
mount and are quick and are usually in the lower-end
of the spectrum. 
Component speakers mounted correctly look nicer and
sound a bit clearer and crisper.
