Ive looked at so many builds that they get all jumbled. I DID think it was an S-10 or trailblazer. Theres a guy on this forum that's running those things glassed into his A-pillars. Can't remember who... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/104756-2003-trailblazer-sundown-build/page__st__220 Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Keep it simple. how are they tricky? and how would u fail? im am curious cause i was thinking of tryin them http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/how-articles-provided-our-members/2-using-ribbon-tweeters-car.html Positioning them plays a bigger role than a normal tweeter. Due to the fact that cars don't have idea sound stage setups, like home audio setups or theater setups, it may take some trial and error to get these to work AND sound good doing it. They aren't straight forward like a normal 3/4" or 1" tweeter. I'm not saying don't try it, but I'm saying you might need to try it a couple times to get it right. You can throw them in and put power to them disregarding the sound stage and imaging and have them work every time. But to expect them to sound phenomenal and exceed that of a high quality silk dome tweeter on the first try, it may not happen.

Blackedout Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Looking a little further into it. The B&G PDR is a solid tweeter. It would be something solid to run if you wanted to try it. http://www.zaphaudio.com/nondomes/ It got compared to a $29 dome tweeter and won.

Personally, I couldn't ever justify spending $300 + on any tweeter. But to the OP.... There's some really good information in here, which I wish I had come across a while ago. http://www.zaphaudio.com/tweetermishmash/ Quote Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
