Hotdog Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I vote A Pillars up high to bring your sound stage up.. makes for a better sound.

hdorre Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 alright so i won a local comp about a week ago and the prize was some store credit.. anyhow i ended up picking up a set of Kicker Ks13 1/2 tweeters... now... where should i put em? in the top of my doors? A pillars? Dash, right at the bottom of the windshield? I would do either of these. If theyre on the dash, dont just lay them there, fiberglass them so they point at you Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 don't mean to thread jack, but are you hookin the tweeters up to another amp or just off the head unit? I was planning on getting some extra tweeters but I dont want another 4 channel amp just for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganberry Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Those tweets are pretty harsh so take that into account when you do your placement Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkster Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 There is no real answer unless you know am SQ guy who knows your car inside and out. And even then he may or may not know the best position because people are different heights, and therefore is either sitting closer of farther away from the dash. Best advise I can give is to sit in your car how you normally drive and roll the windows all the way up. Then using double sided tape or velcro, mount the tweeters anywhere manageable and take a listen. Even though you will have exposed wires for a little while, it will be well worth it in the end knowing the tweeters sound how you want. A general rule is to mount the tweeters a couple inches higher than the highest point of the dash (if you're mounting them in the a pillars). Many people get good results firing the tweeters directly at each other. Others use deflection to their advantage but thats hit or miss in each car.

Rogers Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 ill be running these to a channel on my zx200.4 so they will be seeing around 50rms.... i figured id just slap em on the A pillars and flush mount them... but they do also come with angle mounts and surface mounts(which i wont use)..... i could angle them towards the driver and passenger seats or windshield with the angle mounts... but going by what finkster said... ill proble just fire them towards each other..... this isnt an sq vehicle at all.. its a budget ground pounder... but i do like to listen to rock/metal when on road trips....as far as highs ill be running a Zx200.4 to 1 set of DS 6.5 coaxes in the back dash 1 set of DS 6.5 coaxes in the stock location at the bottom of the doors 1 set of Ks 4" coaxes in the back seat side panels 1 set of KS13 tweets(placement in question) Im just adding the KS line of speakers to help the highs keep up with the 145+db bass Quote http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/79921-rogers-700-dream-car-update-page-17-a-wall/?p=2335774 93 Saturn SC2My system4 SA-15's Walled 2 Cerwin-Vega S2000's 3 Kinetik Hc2000's Dual 200amp alts. you guys done with the peepee touching contest or do I need to end it?

Rogers Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 word.. i sure do appreciate you stopin in... ill grab some tape and stick em in the different places and see how they sound... like i said im not into sq... but i dont want them to sound too harsh... speaking of which.. if they do sound too harsh... would it be better to angle them towards the windshield? i mean i dont expect it to be too awfully bad... im going to be doing half of their rated rms...
