Tweeters in the Dash???

[powell72]

I was always told by a friend of mine who installed stereos that the tweeter should never be more than six inches away from the mid for the best sound.

Here is where I mounted mine. The hanger on each side of the cab. I never hung clothes up in my truck so I didn't see any reason to keep them. Hole was already there just used the sheet metal screw and drilled another small hole for the wires and done.

this would be a lot of work but pulled off would look trick. It’d be easier to mold something into the a pillar.

the only problem with this is the extra weight on the mirror, possibly causing it to aim everywhere but of out your back window, and if you have one tweet aiming towards your kick panel (not actually aiming) the sound waves will “attack” each other/phase cancelation for the big word.

your friend was right, but not always can that happen due to some interiors.

What was never talked about or asked the OP is how loud do you want it? Brento wants stage quality stuff in his, great mid/tweets and bass you can feel.
If Striker just wants some better sound, first what do you have as far as sound right now? Possibly improve/upgrade what you have and that will make a huge world of difference...?

I am no car audio aficionado, but I do have around 2300 watts, 4 6.5”mids 6 1" dome tweeters 2 8" mid bass and 2 12" woofers in my Colorado. The tweeters are about 2 feet from the mids, and well at 139.4db with all doors open you can hear it quite well and fell the bass from across a parking lot, and with the doors closed it hurts a little bit.

I have also thought about using the singal a piller guage mounts like this and mounting them.
