Hey,

For the ones who have component speakers, where did you all install your tweeters? My components are in the mail and I want to have a good idea. I have a 99 Max(no bose)

i put mine where the stock bose crap was.. http://www.geocities.com/ssjztien/max/airfreshner2.gif
i was gonna put it on the A-pillar, but then i decided two tweeters would be better.. thats what i am going for now..

 

I have mine to the right of the door locks. Sounds great considering the distance between the woofer and tweeter.

 

The audio shop I went to made a bracket inside the door panel, and they sit right in front of the mid's, out of sight.

 

Thats pretty cool. My Polks are great, especially considering the amount of power im feeding them (200w each), but the downfall is if I ever want to replace my components Im going to be limited to finding a system with a tweeter the exact size of the cutout I have now.....I dont know of any other way to patch up a hole in a door without making it look awful.

 

I'm getting the Infinity Kappa 60.2cs components. Thanks for the input. I see I'll have to be creative when I get them. Did anyone have their tweeters flush mounted?

It's the only way to go.

 

Not trying to be a _, but doesnt that defeat the purpose of having the component setup in the first place?

I replaced my bose tweeters with MBQuart components. Put the tweeters in the exact same spot. Painted the grille, and had to enlarge the hole a tad, but it works out great.

 

Im not sure what mtrai760 was actually meaning when he said the tweeter was "right infront of the mids." Ive seen brackets in door panels that hold the tweeter just to the side of the woofer and not actually on top of it.

 

when i installed my components i put them in the factory position. I have the bose system, so everything was there for me. I did not have to modify anything, because my MB Quartz fit in the original holes. That way I can put the system back to stock without any problems.
I also ran all new wires because of the factory amps, so i didn't have to by-pass anything. that also means when i go to put the bose back in i don't have any problems. didn't cut ANY factory wires, that is the way to go. just my 2 cents.

Where are the tweeter locations for the bose system? I just my fabricate some there.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I didn't want to cut up the doors either. I plan on taking all my stuff out when I someday sell the car, and I do not have a stock hole for the tweeter, so I would have to make one, which would later have to be covered up. I ran into that problem with my old Acura. The bracket is an L bracket, which is connected to the plastic speaker housing, and then bends down, to which the tweater is connected. Sounds good and works for me.
