Tweeter Positioning?

Postby Ollybee on Wed Oct 11, 2006 9:34 pm

I've not had a real system for yonks! However I'm slowly starting to build up a small amount of parts.

Anyway where do you lot think positioning the tweeters is the way to go?

near the mirror adjustors pointing at the person opposite (drivers - passenger passenger - driver), will be perfect!

I mounted mine in the dash.

My understanding is it's best to have the tweeters mounted about 6" from the mid cone though. Top of A-pillar will sound very bright and wanky

according to club DJs high frequencies are at there best at above ear level so i rekon the a-piller would be best.

i put mine next to my mirror adjuster for two reasons, i have dtm mirrors so therefore no adjusters, and i'm lazy and couldn't be bothered to make a decent feature of it

please note the dtm's were on order at the time of photo!!

That door card looks shocking, anyway, I finally plumped for above the wing mirror adjuster, will get some pics up for you to look at when the camera has charged.

It's dark now so the pictures are pretty shocking, and yes my car does need a good clean and a hoover!

Try the middle of the A pillar firing in the middle of the screen...straight across if you get me....so the sound appears to be coming from the middle (front) of the car as opposed to either side (left door/right door)

failing that, top of A pillars

bit of a late post justed spotted this one seeing as you'v already fitted them,

how do they sound?

Im looking at componants for the front, KFC PS1700P or KFC P507

after looking at http://www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk

(this one goes out to 'Priezti' & Bassy boy) it waffles on about having your componants in the kick well so that there is a shorter, equal distance from both left and right speakers giving you a better listening quality.

combined with having your rear speakers set so you can just hear them with some vibrating bass coming through from the sub(s)

Spank me if im wrong(hope theyre female) :wink:

As bassboy says,

its all about stage front,

Image[/url]

with it being like this, the sound is going to sound more like its LIVE,

while your looking ahead, the sound will come from ahead,

depends what your after too i spose, im thinking of going full on SQ in my fiesta, but dont know if i might miss the Orion sub hehe
