Tebo Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Alright guys i have been kind of wanting to do some small fiber glassing projects because i have never done it before and want to give it a shot. I am going to make some fiber glass sail panels for my front tweeters and would like to make use of the flush mount tweeter thing in my comp set. I figure i can lay down the tape and foil like usual and then attach the tweeter mount and fiber glass around it. Then i would drill a hole in the molded fiber glass to attach it to my door panel. I plan to mount the tweeter towards the left of the handle and up a little bit. Anything i could be doing wrong or should i rethink that mounting spot? any advice would be sweet.

mbdblue Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 its sounds good man. I would scuff up the flush mount tweeter pod before you lay glass on it so it adheres well. take pics AA-Atomic-Clif Designs-DC-Diamond-Digital Designs-Directed-Eclipse-Fi-Hertz-Hifonics-Kenwood-Memphis-Phoenix Gold-Pioneer-PPI-PSi-Stinger-Sundown-TC Sounds-Viper-Zapco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbondox Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 it sounds good man????? seriously??? first it looks more like a pic of the back door so i might be a bit confused, then sail panel vs the "on the door " is 2 different spots ... sail panel is the triangle shape area that usually covers the nuts for the side mirrors. sail panel would allow you to position your tweeters a bit more on axis than in a door without looking like a hoopty optimal results would be to look at the A-pillar as far forward as possible, positioned with the axis towards the middle of the vehicle between both front seats, or close to it... you won't know the exact angle until you physically take your tweeter and place it there, hook it up, and play some music making some fine adjustments as you go along... I am no walking encyclopedia of how every tweeter sounds, so YOU will need to tune it... then proceed playing with the fiberglass. A-pillar bottom fwd position also gives you some good width... just be careful that the whole thing is not sounding like you are wayyyyy left of the stage sounds good.... seriously, that is some crazy advice...

Tebo Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 sorry about the confusion about the sail panels. I am putting a another component set in my rear doors, so the tweeter will be mounted with the flush mount idea. In the front im going to make fiber glass sail panels for the tweeters, unless now that you mention it i could apply the same idea from the back doors to the a pillar. Hmm ive got some thinking to do. thanks guys 04 dodge dakota ext cab 4x4 excessive amperage 300 amp alt with MONSTER stud =)sundown z v3 15 in a 4th order on aq2200sundown 100.4 2 way active...2 Prv audio 6mb200 & 2 re XXX tweetersdeka intimidatorkenwood x396big 3 1/0 knu wire back to deka intimidator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbondox Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 you put that tweeter high in the back door and you will here it ungodly loud as most people are reclined that far... plus it willbe closer to your left ear than an a pillar mount on drivers side.

I couldnt give a shit where he wanted to put the tweets. since this is the FIBERGLASS section and he was describing his idea of how he was going to do it out of fiberglass. no reason to come at me some kind of way. while your referring to his equipment placement/performance, Im referring to the process of how he plans on doing it...or to what he sounded like he was more concerned about. its a misunderstanding AA-Atomic-Clif Designs-DC-Diamond-Digital Designs-Directed-Eclipse-Fi-Hertz-Hifonics-Kenwood-Memphis-Phoenix Gold-Pioneer-PPI-PSi-Stinger-Sundown-TC Sounds-Viper-Zapco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
