Topic: question on custom placement of tweeter
putting a tweeter that high up and far away from the mid will give too much seperation and not sound good. i would suggest making or buying kickpanels. to me, that's where they sound best

if it will work I would say go for it. they aren't that expensive if they don't. and if they do work it will be alot easier than cutting for fabbing kicks. forget the advantages/disadvantages because you'll get them both no matter where you put the tweets. -------------------- Panasonic 8803U Phaze Audio MW64s + Vifa XT25s Coustic XM-6 DLS RA20 & RA40 Single Crystal CMP 10 quote: Originally posted by ---Navi---: Thanks for the heads up iggy

^^ especially in civics and it works well with a high enough crossover point. If you are using a metal tweet and don't have EQ or atleast attenuation for it, it may not be best to have it firing right at you as a guage would...depending on the tweet, off axis may be better.

do you know the angle that the tweets will be facing. it might sound terible, it might sound incredible. of coarse youll never know until you try it. but i think your just looking for the easy way out, which is cool we all want the easy way out. but do you really want to sacrifice quality sound for easy install. i know i would rather just cut a hole, or the way i have them in angle pods that came with my tweets. .02c erik -------------------- GO BIG, TUNE LOW! bolt everything down.

did any of the 02' civics come with tweets if so you could just go to a junk yard and find the pods that would fit. just an idea. i would think the way those guage pods are angled it wouldnt sound right. -------------------- GO BIG, TUNE LOW! bolt everything down.
