door panel tweeters

[byc_cb7]

i think its been threaded before but some asked for me to do it so i am...
first u need:
phillips screwdriver
drill
tweeters(of course)
and alot of patience to make sure the whole is perfect!!
it took me about 45 mins. to an hour but i didnt have the drill bits that drill big whole i had to use a little drill bit and make alot of holes. well here it goes.
first i unsrewed all screws for the door panel and popped off the panel.. theres two in the lock and door handle area, one in the arm rest area, one by the door light on the lower corner, and one when the doors open but that one jus pops out..
one its popped out dependin on the tweeters u have place where u might want it. mine had a ring around it that locks into the tweeter thats what i used to trace my hole. then i drilled be very careful not to go to big cuz that would be very bad.

after i drilled the hole i got a file and fileda lil to make it fit tighter
test fit. and wire it up to ur door speakers. pop the panel back in, screw all screws in, and turn on the radio make sure everything is workin and sit back and admire....

looks good, but i would have rather put it in the black triangle piece where the side mirrors are so that black on maroon didn't stick out so much.

good job though

Nice diy, I might do this. Its the little mods that add up to a nice car.

nice, though they sell a holesaw that has a guide drill bit and is adjustable at the hardware stores. always cut smaller than you need.

Sometimes I wish I had placed my tweeters up high there instead of down near the speaker.....but sound dynamics say that the tweeter should not be more than 8"-10" away from it's mid range sibling so I put them down low.

A hole saw is definitely what you need for this job, and to make the cut MUCH cleaner, run the holesaw in REVERSE until you eat through the vinyl fabric and then forward to cut through the panel. That keeps from ripping the vinyl and makes a perfect hole. Also with a hole saw it's nearly impossibly to re-drill bigger so just test it out on something disposable first and drill once.

Here's a pic of my setup....didn't plan it but the blue tweeters blend very well with gray interior!

Mine are components...hands down best way to go if you're running tweeters. Otherwise neither your mids or tweeters are reaching their full potential because they are both trying to push the same frequencies instead of separating the ranges like components' "can't remember the name of the box" does.

[heylookitsdylan]

the "box" your refering to would be a crossover.

It sends all your high from a certain frequency up to the tweeter, and everything else to the mid bass driver.

also, investing in a cd player advanced enough to have a high pass filter and low pass filter is also nice.

Thanks, duh, for some reason I couldn't think of the name at 2:30am.
