Remove tweeter from a two-way coaxial speaker?

[terryz]

I have the base audio system and recently replaced all 4 main speakers with JBL GT7-6 two-way coaxial speakers. The problem is, I have toooo much treble because I have essentially doubled the number of tweeters upfront:doh:.

I tried to use EQ to correct it but it doesn't work too well. I would like to remove the tweeter on those two-way speakers, or at least disable them. Is it doable?

Thanks a lot!!!

takes two seconds with a pair of side cutters. :-)

That's it? Does removing the tweeter have any effect on the main speaker?

typically with how they are wired it may affect the load on the speaker (a two ohm load will then be a four ohm load) but usually unless it's providing bass it won't make a huge swing in another direction.

This isn't the issue you might think it is. The reason is that the two drivers work at different frequencies, so the active impedance of the individual drivers doesn't add together. If you just measured the resistance with a multi-meter it would be different before and after cutting the wires, but in use, with a signal going through it, the amp won't see a difference.

Sounds like it will just work as a single mid-range/bass driver after I cut off the tweeter. This is exactly what I wished to hear since I don't need to buy another pair of speakers. Thanks a lot!!
