Just as the title of the thread says How many people have put aftermarket tweeters in A- pillar?? I have a 96 maxima and am installins my system tomorrow.. I was wondering if the stock location of the tweeters will suffice. If anyone has any experience with this i'd appreciate some info.. Thanks in advance,.

 

Stock will suffice...theyre stock in the A pillar in 5th gens, so either location will do.

 

put the cdts in the stockers and you'll like it!

 

some 4th gens with Bose systems come standard with the tweeters in the A pillars... i think its only 95-96's that had those.

i put alpine in mines

 

what the best tweeters to get i need to get some.

 

I put rockford fosgate tweets in my a pillars. They sound awesome, especially compared to the Clarion factory tweets. I can't believe Clarion even put their name on them. I'd be ashamed if I was them. lol

 

yeah i finally installed the components and rears yesterday, and it great for the price. Plus they are just running off my Alpine 50x4, I'll amp them later on...

About the A-piller the tweeters sound fine to my ears and it look just like stock which is good cause i didnt wanna have to drill any holes...

 

exactly...so is it a worthwhile upgrade over the bose?

 

Rainbow CAL 25 silks would be my choice, but theyll run you about the same amount as a cheap component set.


Audition some and base it on Your ears.

Definitely worth it compared to the old Bose, plus my Bose speakers where like 10 yrs old.. The sound from the cdt's is so much more clean and crisp. Like it snaps hard to explain but the Bose didn't do it.. I'm also glad that I got the titanium tweeters, that is how I would have hoped they sound. The only thing is I can't wait to hear how they sound amped..

 

100x better is all i can say. i went from non-bose tweets to cdts off a h/u, thought it was great. when i went from the h/u to the amp is was like the same feeling all over again, the mids REALLY come out when amped.

 

thats something I am looking forward to http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...753369172&rd=1 it much be a lil to powerful for what i have now..

 

What size are the stock tweets?

 

The clarions are 1" I believe. I put 1" Fosgates in without any problems, alot of room in there.

 

i found the sail panels to provide better imaging in my case....

 

that may be true, but in my case I didn't want to drill any holes in them.... I just wanted everything looking just like stock..

 

id find an amp that does between 200-300 watts rms total. my cdt system is getting 200 watts rms for all 6 speakers and i love it.
