Tweeters for a tweeter dummy

[DR.TINGTING!!!]

I'm looking to run separate mids and highs for the first time and I'm not really sure of what I'm doing. I've heard of people having issues with their tweeters being too harsh and I'm trying avoid that.

What would be easier for a beginner to not mess up the installation on, super tweeters (specifically the FT-1) or silk domes?

What location is easiest or at least easier to install to and least likely to blast my face on ever high note?

its all in the tuning and position

i did a pro style setup in one of my mates cars last year

i fitted the supper tweeters into the dash/ replacement of factory 4" (4" tweeters)

and ran 2x 6.5" mids in the door

off a mbq 4x80 amp

he and i were both happy considering the hole set up was around $250

and got super loud

Do you have any recommended tweeter locations for a car that doesn't have factory tweeters?

[Noel989]

Your going to have to test what position sounds better for you

Get some tape so you move easily and when you find your ggod spot intall them their

I would suggest at the a pillars pointing inward not towards the seat

Or pointing towards the opposite seat kinda like an x

These are just suggestion

you may even be able to get (a) pillar or side mirror pods for your car, , already made

dont get supertweeters. if you must, then cross them high.

Would you mind elaborating on that a bit please?

[STEALTH808]

they are efficient, get loud, and most times a little harsh. you said, you dont want harsh and you dont want to blast your face off with high notes. then why get a supertweeter???

before you have it set in stone where you want to place them hook them up and try a few different locations to see what you like best, after you figure out what YOU like then start adjusting your crossover to see if you need to tone down the tweeter or brighten it a little bit. as long as you have some decent crossovers you can do this fairly simple ..good luck

General locations for tweeters without a factory location are the door sail panels and A-pillars, most likely you will want to point them off axis to prevent any kind of harshness they may have. I would look a t a good set of components to start off with instead of trying to go pro audio if you have never used separates before so you can get a better feel in where to place them.
