Hey guys. new to the cb7 scene. thinking of upgrading my speakers and thinking of going with components in the front, possibly some type r's. just wondering where you guys have placed your tweeter? thanks guys!

Some of us have put the tweeter in the door panel (requires cutting the door panel), some of us straight onto the sail panel (mirror triangle) and others on the dash.

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end. -
i had mine in the corner of the dorr then i changed it and put it in the door panel and it look so much cleanerComment

I would go with the sail panels, that way if you want to take them out you don't have a giant hole in your doors trim. Same if you want to later sell the car, sail panels are cheaper and easier to replace then door trim.Comment

thats what i was thinking but they look like shit there without fiberglass and all that good stuff.Originally posted by frootloops View PostComment

No they don't, mine look great there. I just depends on whether or not your tweeters came with angle pods.Originally posted by CBRIDE View Post

Exactly. It also depends on the installer. If you want it to look good, you'll make it look good.Originally posted by guitarplayer825 View Post
If you can get your hands on some tweeter pods that swivel, that would be even better because you can aim them for better imaging.Comment

sweet. thanks for the input guys. any of you guys have pics of the tweets sittin in the sail panel? is there some sort of sail panel kit. or is it something you gotta modify yourself?Comment

well what it is if u buy those tweeters from a cheap audio store..they usually come with a couple screws and like a lil black usually plastic braket that u can drill a hole in ur sail panel and just run the wire down etc..but usually u gotta do it ur self.. im not sure if those bigger tweeters from component sets have that plastic braket n screws with them...but i have pictures when i had mine in..if u want ill email you a picture or 2 just give me ur email idk how to post it on here.
edit: now i really see that it isnt quite a good picture..but it was when i sold my cb7..but u can see it on the top right of the screen..u can see the lil wire hangin out too..i oculd have hid it better like under it there was a lil hole made for it..but i was lazy at the time..the tweeters are chrome..and i used a black caulk to have them in place..

have any of you guys ran two component sets? set in the front and set in the back. My buddy just installed type r 6.5's (minus the tweets for now) on his rear deck and those things pound pretty nice for 6.5".
so i was thinkin' 2 sets of 6.5's, set up in the front would be a mounted tweet in the door panel and the driver in the door as well. back set up would be a tweet in the door panel as well but the 6.5's in the rear deck. i'm tryin to say away from throwin a sub in the back. especially after hearing how decent those type r's are.Comment
