Tweeter Location

[pmureika 31]

Is it better to install the tweeters in the dash or somewhere else?

 

For a component set of speakers.

Need way more details than that. Dome material, FR, how low you're crossing them over, intended application, etc will play a factor.

Play with locations in YOUR vehicle every car/tweeter/crossover point combo will be different and you are the only one that can judge what you will like. Use sticky tack or double sided tape and move them around.

They are crescendo cz-6.5 comps with silk dome tweeters.

 

I will be using the passive crossovers that came with them.

 

Factory location are in the dash.

Some people lik there tweeters down in the door next to their mid driver, while others enjoy the sails or a-pillars if that's what you meant by the dash. Just like anything in car audio testing will be your best friend.

They are in the dash next to the a pillars.

Another question is what fabrication do you wanna do? If none then on the dash were the factory tweets are would be your only choice.

The most I would like to do is drill a hole in the door panels or I can get adapters to mount them in the factory location. Which is the dash.

Do what ricksi30 suggested and place the speakers in the spots your willing to mount them and see what spot you like best. Then install them

Okay right now that would be the dash or next to the mids.

What components are they?

I like the way the stock location sounds.

 

I would need to remove the dash to install them.

The only generic answer is to get them as close to the woofers as possible, as far from your ears as possible, up as high as possible, as equal distant as possible, and away from all reflecting planes.

In a car the above is not possible so then it comes down to compromises. Your car will determine the compromises, but compromising on the least of the above is a good starting point.

So dash mounting in the oem location wouldn't be the best.

Are you woofers in the dash, if not then that should easily answer your question

My mids are in the doors close to the kick panels.

Passive I've never had luck separating the tweeter from the mid. Aside from that the sail panels/a-pillars are about the worst thing you can do to a speaker.....too many reflective surfaces.

[///M5 2,833]

Likewise. Tricky even active, but then you have ways around or to at least massage the other compromises.
