SnowDrifter Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I was playing around with ideas on where to mount my tweeters. Various places on the door, console, dash, and A pillars. What sounded the best, at least to me was either in the center of the dash, facing up. Or on the side of the dash, facing up. The center is easiest for me to get to and mount the tweeters as the sides have defroster vents in the way. There is this little cubby that I never use that would give a nice spot for the magnets to hang down into. Any thoughts on why I should or should not do it, besides possibly losing some left and right separation, I don't see much of an issue. But, that's why I'm asking lol ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stroupe79 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 center mounted in the dash would look cool, just not sure how it would effect the sound Apillars are probably your best bet, or sail panels if you have them I will be running 2 in the dash each corner has a factory speaker location that makes it easy for me though...interested to see what some of the more knowledgeable guys have to say... http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 i like the other one better. so no want to do A pillars? are you cutting a hole in your dash or mounting it on top of your dash with some kind of fiberglass My A pillars aren't very big and there is little to no space behind them, I just feel like it would look cockeyed having a huge bulge hanging off for just a tweeter, since I don't have other speakers to put in there I haven't decided whether I want to put them in the dash or make a pod and have them face towards me. It seems like they are a bit less harsh facing up towards the windshield, so if there isn't anything under neath then I'll probably put them in the dash ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
