Door mounted tweeters

[jnorion]

So after scrapping my door pods, I decided to mount the tweeters in the top of the door. I pulled them out and taped them in place to see if I liked how they sounded (see first picture). I really like the sound quality and the imaging with them there, so I got started. For once my project went fast, and now I have tweeters mounted on their own in the door (see second picture).

that where i originally had my tweeters mounted in my doors. it brings the sound up much higher, and it sounded pretty good.

[jnorion]

Where are yours now and why'd you move them?

Mine are hanging from the same spot, and you objected to that.

Joel, copycat. :p:

i said they sounded pretty good, but not great mine are in kick panels now, and while they sound great, i'm going to move the tweeter to up on the a-pillar and equalize the heck out of them.

Comapre that position to the sail panels. Which sounded better to you?

I thought yours were on the sail panels. Mine are not. Yeah, that's what I thought.

[Intruder]

Lol. Mine are hanging... just like in the first pic you posted.

OK, so I copied you for about four days. I was so scared to cut into the door though. I almost just left them there.

[Intruder]

I still can't imagine cutting the doors up. I'm a wuss.

[jnorion]

I did it with a soldering iron, that way it was slow and I was less likely to screw up. Even so there's a slight gap in a couple of spots. Not enough you'd notice unless you're looking for it, but I'm still pissed.

[Intruder]

I hope you don't plan on changing the tweets any time soon.

[jnorion]

Nope. As I said before, the components I have in the front are great for now, maybe down the road I'll upgrade but not for a long time. And even if I did, the tweeters are good enough to mix and match. And they're a fairly standard size.

that spot on the doors is pretty much the same as the sail panels. if properly aimed they'll sound good. course mounting them on the a-pillars can be a nightmare, since there are some horrible reflections off the windshield and dash. that's why it pretty much requires a 30 band EQ

[jnorion]

So far it sounds a lot better than it did, but I haven't really heard a lot of other setups. Once I've heard a good set of kick panels I'll tell you how mine sound. And the equalizer is on the way, it'll get here about a week after the money to pay for it does.
