With the top down and sound cranked up not all the way it distorts really badly. Is that the tweeters or the mids cutting out do you think? Anyway, I checked on crutchfields site, and see some speakers I would like to install, these: Rockford Fosgate RS.

Which come with 6. Does anyone have some pics or tips of installing these? I am hoping there are harnesses I can buy to make it easier? Crutchfield sales guy said I need that to use a backstrap piece Universal Back Strap.

This specific tweeter does fit nicely in the stock location behind the factory grill, although you will need a way to secure it, as it is not a tight fit. I used 5 minute epoxy to secure the Hertz tweeter ring inside of the stock mount and let it dry for two days. When I went back to press the tweeter into the Hertz ring, the epoxy failed to hold to the stock tweeter mount and left a big mess.

Long story stop, I ended up ordering a new set of A-pillar covers and tweeter rings. This time around I will snap the tweeter into its ring first and then use a hot glue gun to secure it to the stock mount, as it will be less messy and hopefully hold just fine. As for harnesses, I soldered Molex connectors to my new speaker wire to make them plug and play. StangTime Well-Known Member. Removed the factory midrange it sounded like garbage. The tweeters fit perfect after you cut the OEM tweeter out, open the hole a little larger so you have a tight fit and just press it in.

I used a knife to cut the connector off the back of the OEM tweeter trimmed up the plastic and epoxies it to the back of the MP If I were to do it again I would mount the connector so it points downward toward the dash, not upward and adjust the wire length.

Had to re-install the A pillar then install the tweeter last. This worked great though and I can remove the tweeter with a trim tool without taking the A pillar off again. The A pillar is a complete bitch to re-install. Looks great StangTime! How do your tweets sound? Superspirit Well-Known Member. Because coaxial types tweeters come in combined pack and no problem of installing.

You can also get this in reasonable price but keep in mind that the sound quality might not better as component tweeters.

As component tweeters install separately, definitely each part of the tweeters produces high-quality bass. But whatever you buy either component or coaxial, tweeters are must required equipment for your car speaker installation. However, for install tweeters, three different types of mounting system are also available.

You just follow on of this and do it as it is. I am sure; your mounting set-up will work correctly. It is the easiest way of mounting, and you just have to pressed or push the tweeters inside the existing grill. For this, you do not need to make any extra hole. In this process, the tweeter mounted on the top, and generally, it is preferable if you do not have enough space for flush mounting.

The tweeters placed in a security cup. The cup then fixed in the mounting place with the screwdriver. Here, you may need to make a small hole in the back for wire connection with the speaker.

Flush mounting is the most common customized way to mount tweeters. Mainly, you need to make a big hole on the door or dashboard and flush with the inner panel. But the problem you may face here is making the hole. To get the better bass, angle mounting is preferable. In fact, now a day, many cars manufacturer providing inbuilt angle mounting facilities. This way, the user can slightly adjust the tweeters at their convenient.

It would not be a problem if the tweeters mounted on the panel. Therefore, after proper mounting, you can start with the installation process. Here, you must be careful about location where you want to setup tweeters and what sort of modification cutting, doing hole needed in your car? Because there may cause sound distortion or might create unrealistic sound because of misplacement set-up between woofers and tweeters.

After choosing the perfect place, here are some location tips that can help you to install tweeters in a car:. If you want to install tweeters in top door, you need to drill a large hole in the door panel to fix the new tweeter. If your car does not have automated tweeter system or if the place is too small to install, then you can choose overhead door location.

Do you want to do surface mount to your tweeter? Some cars had factory tweeters and placed on the top of the door window corners. But, it might not give you the whole enjoy. So, you can install additional tweeters by doing flush or bottom mounting. Finally, comes to the dash location which I like most. Because no holes are compulsory and it comes with inbuilt factory tweeters. The tweeters placed in the dash and you can also perform bottom mounting.
