I've finished purchasing all the components for my stereo in the teener. I think it's going to be AWESOME when I've finished it.
Aiwa detachable face CD Aftermarket 6.5 inch speaker panels 6 inch bass tube (I shortened it from 22 inches to 14 inches, to fit snug up under the passenger side dashboard Clarion 6.5 inch component speakers (comes with 2 crossovers, and 2 tweeters to separate high and low frequencies) If you've ever heard a set of component speakers in a car, they are AWESOME...... but here's my question: Where do I mount the 1-inch tweeters?? They should be about the same distance from your head as the 6.5's.... so has anyone done this yet?? I thought about the doors, but the window cranks get in the way. I thought about the dash, but its too small, curvy, and cluttered with vents, knobs, etc. Maybe the sides of the center console?? Suggestions?? Help?? Heres a pic of my interior (before any stereo upgrades)... not that it matters... everyone else's interior looks the same--LOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s) |

Nope... the 6.5's are going in the custom speaker panels I bought off e-bay...... I think the guy that makes them is a member here.
The bass tube is a 6-incher... but the housing is 8 inches wide. I think the console gets skinnier the futher you get toward the front of the car, especially on the driver side.... I don't think the tube will fit in there. Besides.. I placed it, and it actually fits pretty well...... there's like 6 inches from the floor to the botton of the tube.. my passengers can still stretch their feet out. On the window posts?? You don't think air noise would interfere with the sound of the tweeters if they were up high like that?? Even if I have the top off?? Hmmmm |
