Tweeter Position

mustangracer05 · 06-28-2005

I am new to the forums and I have been reading them for quite a while now. I have a 2004 V6 coupe w/out the Mach 460 setup. I was wanting to put some tweeters somewhere in the front seat area of my car. I know i will need a crossover and all that great stuff. I know how to wire everything in and all that. This isn't my first time doing this stuff. I just needed some suggestions on a good place to mount some tweeters. I was thinking of purchasing the Mach window bezels and using my own tweeters and run my own wire. Does anyone know where i could get just the bezel and cover at a low price.
Thanks

Try www.50resto.com

Or do as i did, i mounted a pair of Boston Accoustic surface mount mini tweeters, work and look great.

I was looking for something a little cheaper than 50resto. Maybe ebay. Would the tweeters fit to the side of the original door speakers where it is closed off in the grill. I would like to mount them in the door somehow.

Can anyone else help me out. I need some ideas here.
Thanks

This all depends on how much work you want to do and how much you want to spend. Good tweeters cost about $100 a piece. Or get some okay ones for $30 or $40. How much do you want to spend, because if you do the work all you'll need to do is make a hole in the door to mount the tweeter.

Put them in the sail panels as I did. I bought Infinitys from Crutchfield (HTTP://www.crutchfield.com) for $79 and added them to my front door speakers. They made a GREAT difference. The higher they are, the better they will sound as highs are directional. If you like, I could snap a pic for you to see...they look factory.

Yes a pic would be great. I'm not worried about how much they cost and how to install. I know how to do all that. I just need some ideas on where to put them. But yes a pic would be very helpful. Thanks

Here's a few. The 2nd one is with the sail panel off viewed from behind. Sorry for the blurry 2nd & 3rd pics but I just snapped them off quickly.

What the depth of your tweeters because there's not much room behind there. I would need some thin tweeters to put them there. I really like that though. I just need to know how much room I have to work with so I dont buy some that are to big.
Thanks

The mounting depth on those is listed (On Crutchfield's website...where I purchased them) as .875". You cannot go any deeper than that as I had to center them EXACTLY where they are. This is 0 room when you snap the panels back on. It also comes with a surface mount ring where you could mount them with just 2 screws and not have to worry about depth, but I thought it would be cool to have them angled at you so I went with the big holes.
