Component tweeter installation locations on an FC

LunchboxCritter · 03-01-2011, 05:37 PM

I primered them and test fit them, again. Figured I would take a few shots to give a better idea of what they will look like when finished.

more sanding yet to come.

Huh that is kickass. Very nice. Although I never did get a stereo installed in my FC.

Good job, however (and I am not trying to be an asshole), because highs are directional sounds, and they are so close to one of your ears, your staging will suffer BIG time.

I've got mounted in basically the same location. Then again I have an Alpine head unit that allows you to adjust for differences in distance of speakers etc etc etc. Sadly I just lost all that info when I pulled the head unit out a few days ago....

OUCH!

Are they on axis or off axis. Speaker height plays a small role when it comes to mids and highs, however the highs arent forgiving, the sound will be very accute in the direction that you point them, specially when they are so close to one of your ears.

No biggie, it's just 2 more speakers to add to the 6 others in my car that are not properly staged.

Man, looking at those pictures makes me think that my car needs detailing something awful, or at least a good dusting.
