Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    Tweeters

    Just a quick question i thought id toss out there... had my accord for about 2 years, about to upgrade to a real system, got two polk tweeters, but im not sure how i want to mount them, should i cut out to wholes into the interior trim on the a pillar or is there an easier way, i dont really want to put them in the kick panel though, i feel its a waste to even have the tweeters if its sending all the high sounds to my knee lol

    I have mine mounted in the door, right in front of the door handle. Some people mount them in the little plastic panel for the side mirrors. Be creative, find a location you'd think no one has em and go for it, just make sure you can run the wires to your source. Good luck, take some pics

        I have been trying to find a Acura or Civic overhead light with it built in. I figured its a good stealth install.

          If you have the time and patience, you could do what I did;

          Custom Tweeter Pods
          Custom Tweeter Pods - Continued

          They turned out very nice, and they sound much, much better than when I had them installed in front of the door handles, in the door panel.

          Even with the pivoting tweeter cups, there isn't enough of a pivot to aim them for optimal sound when they're mounted in the door panels, in front of the handles.. they do sound good there, but they sound much better where I have them, IMHO.

          -mak

          PS: I have the Polk DB1001 tweeters in my car (they're part of the DB6501 component set that I have installed). I also have Polk SR6500 components (not currently installed) and the tweeters for those sounded amazing where my tweeter cups are now mounted.

            About how long did it take you to make the pods and what did you use to form them?

              It only took about 25 minutes per pod, but I let them dry for a few hours before applying the carpet, then I let them dry for a few days before installing them.

              Steps Done:

              1.) Screwed the tweeter cup into the panel and drilled a hole for the wiring.
              2.) Roughed up the plastic with a sanding wheel on my dremel.
              3.) Mixed Bondo Body Filler.
              4.) Filled in around the tweeter cup, leaving plenty of extra Bondo so it could be sanded down into a custom shape.
              5.) Sanded it all down until I got the shape I was after.
              6.) Sanded it smooth.
              7.) Applied contact cement to the bondo and plastic panel.
              8.) Cut tan felt (the very same fabric used for the rear speaker pods.
              9.) Applied contact cement to the tan fabric.
              10.) Stretched the tan fabric over the new tweeter pod.
              11.) Stretched it tight around the corners and contact cemented the fabric over the edges of the panel.
              12.) Cut a + sign into the center of the tweeter cup and trimmed the fabric a bit so the tweeter could fit in.
              13.) Pushed the wiring through the hole (previously drilled!)
              14.) Pushed the tweeter into the cup at the desired angle.
              15.) Repeated for the other side!
