Look what you've done Brad... Gahhh Just sell the boat, it's not worth all this trouble...
Someone is gonna get hurt...
I kid, I kid...
Edit: Wolfe, those won't work... The square box won't fit in the circular holes!

Mike,
I agree 100% that there is a distinct difference in sound between them.....just as there is with a Polk, Wet Sounds, JL, Rockford on and on and on. What ones ears like is not for me to say, thats why I always try to stress getting a demo. I just thought your description was interesting considering the difference in size between the two tweeters. I have heard and re-tuned a few of the OEM setups and upgraded amps, but do not sell and install those OEMs with the .5" Tweeter. I stick to the .75" KM6200 and 1" KM6250.2, but happen to have the new KM6LED's with the .5" on the sound board.
I am not trying to talk him into staying with the OEM, nor am I trying to talk him out of the Exiles.
"1. With the ZLD, if I turn the tower control down how is that affecting the amp? Voltage? Wattage? or is it just lowering the volume post amp? (i am no electrician.. ) My concern is i dont want the Harpoon running wide open with the tower vol turned down...i'd want the harpoon running lighter..."
Think of an amplifier as a water valve. You have all this voltage potential from the battery system backed up by some serious current (force). Just like a giant water reservoir.
Then you have the output that goes to the speaker. Just like the garden hose output.
The input from your source unit or EQ is like your hand on the water valve. It opens and closes thereby restricting or opening the pathway from the supply to the speakers. You can have a light stream or powerful stream. And of course the supply is also modulated (pulsing so to speak) by the dynamic music.
If the amplifier valve is nearly closed by the the source unit or EQ then very little of that supply potential is flowing and the inverse is true if the source unit or EQ substantially opens the amplifier valve.
An amplifier is a unique electrical multiplier in the sense that you can control this gigantic reservior of potential (battery & charging system) with the very tiny audio signal from the source.
Hopefully I have helped take the mystery out of controlling the amplifier.
The amplifier doesn't really generate power as much as it just transforms the available supply of power. When it is turned down it simply does not pass power.
There will always be a certain amount of idle current when the amplifier level is reduced. But it is not enough to be concerned with.

Thanks David

I want them for my EL Camino
