Ok, here is one users experience:
AMTs usually have great dispersion left to right when they are installed vertically but have a smaller sweet spot height wise. The inverse is true when mounted horizontally. I have seen them used both ways successfully in a vehicle, run some tests and be...
Mr Mac. Thks again for your attention. They are just under 3.00 without the round bezel. I was planning to mount horizontally. Over on the diymobileaudio site, there are many fans of this design and some are highly recommending it. Its critical that the door driver fill in as high as...
Mr Mac, our excellent audio advisor: I have a question for you on this tweeter.
It can go down to 2.5 K. I am thinking about using the Mundorf AMTU60W1.1-C Air Motion Tweeter: https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/amt/mundorf-amtu60w1.1-c-air-motion-tweeter-4-ohm-94-mm-round/

Mac; I am zeroing on my system update. I create a new thread for that when we start I found a good installer here in Maryland. I showed him your threads on this topic and he finds them very helpful. He ask me to reach out to you and if you could fill us in on how you disabled the noise...
Mac,
Yes the home system is a experience. Love it beyond belief.
Back to the car system, its interesting that the bose system amp is still in tack and (I guess) its be used for the other non music audio functions. Which leads to to the next question, can you access your "super audio system"...
Mr Mac Sir; A few more questions: (for today):
A: For the wiring harness from the Infotainment head unit: Do you replace the connector or install a new harness?
B: Do you know the type of connector?
C: Does your XM radio still work with the "new system"?
D: How many hours did you...
Mr Mac, Thanks for responding. Yes, audio is fun btw, my home system is conrad - johnson, sonus faber and Tw acoustic for analog. Digital is oracle Xport and metronome DAC. I will not get that sound in my Z but I like more sense the music is breathing.

I love the British's 80 stuff like Simple...
