Default Moto 602 ?

I have a dumb question for the pros. I've heard many people say the 602s produce good bass but are bright. I heard that you can reverse polarity on the tweeter to tone them down. Do you think this would work on the 602s to give them a warmer sound?

I don't think there's anything bright about those speakers. I'd say their downside is they don't have the clarity of some higher end speakers. A little EQing should get u the sound you want if you think they're too bright.

Agree 100%

When pushed, these speakers have really good mid-bass and mid range sounds. Bright they are not.

No need in rehashing what's been said above, I'll just answer your question with a resounding NO.

Thanks for the info guys. I may need to try out a set of 602s. Are there any Arc dealers on the forum yet?

Agree with all the other post. Not bright. What you do need to know is they need a significant amount of power to make them sound good due to their 88 db sensitivity rating. You throw 200 watts to em and they sing.

With the low sensitivity can you get the volume out of them compared to a higher sensitivity speaker?

I'm sure Bunker is tired of me posting up his video, but it's what got me hooked on the 602's. (I have them in the tourpack)
