Tweeter Placement in a Turbo Regal

[8UWITH6]

Sweet man, my setup is a little more basic, with a little more old school equipment. Heres my progress for the evening, even with 4 hrs with no power!

looking good.the old rockford is hard to beat....i saw a pic of another setup with a t1 or t2 sub in this tread,is that your car also?

[8UWITH6]

Yes, T1 10" in a vented enclosure tuned to 38 hz, 500m running it mono 2 ohms. That setup is in my GN, and that car is ALL FOSGATE. The WE4 is going to be my new daily driver, Im using PowerBass (cheap decent equipment) speakers and sub, and old school Fosgate amps that I had laying around.

SGRIM, pics! I know your busy

for good equalized sound (right to left) try getting the tweeters as far away as possible from you in the car, so the distance from left to your head is as equal as right tweet to your head as possible. Equalization in path length will certainly help get a more natural feel, and and will not effect volume of the tweet. The kicks are generally the best place to gain the distance and equalize the paths, but the angle needs to be considered as well.
For most ppl wanting some tick/hiss with their bump, any placement is fine, but off a windshield will seem louder in perception, and seems to create a broad stage. Also, killing the rear tweets in a coax, and running as a mid bass only will add the effect of a strong front stage, like you are having a concert on the dash.(vs the 70s when you loaded the rear shelf w/ 6x9"s and it sounded like you were at a concert w/ you back to the stage) I have seen many installs that looked and sounded great. Try looking at some like Tim Bailey's regal on hzemall.com, he did tweets in the pillars behind custom grilles, and the look better than OEM.
sorry if I rambled around, its hard to not be an audiophile all the time, and just create music reproduction.

Greg, that is awesome info. I really like that grey regal. Im pretty sure that car was originally an Xtant vehicle? Not sure, looks all MTX now. Pretty cool the way they did the tweeters in the A-pillar. Id just be worried about clearance behind it and of course gauges on the drivers side!

Funny how you talked about staging. I actually like more rear fill than front! However, I like the front to sound "full" as well. This is why Im debating the kick pods, or making door pods, etc. Still debating!

I need pictures or measurements of the black plastic door speaker mount behind the lower door panel of a CSII setup. I cant remember what they look like! Can somebody help me out with this?

I have my first set of door pods I mentioned on a WH1. I will post pics Wed

What happened to the pics? I am very interested.

Ok , I am bye no means an artist....
but I had a set of door panels yrs ago ,that had 1" MDF cut into a panel and ran the whole length of the door((not some woofer box hanging on the door)) as shown in grey and was covered in the correct black carpet on the GN doors,basically it let you move the magnet 1" out and were able to run a decent door speaker....I think this is the only thing that looks like it didn't have 24" rims and candy orange vat~o paint in its previous life in East LA

[8UWITH6]

Yes, that would work, however in my application my car didnt come with concert sound II so I dont have holes in my doors! So, unfortunately I have to build something that sticks out.

I second the notion. Come on Shane the suspense is killing us. We are trying to be patient but we are only human.
