I just ordered some Component speakers and im thinking about mounting them on the plastic over side mirror bolts. Has anyone installed tweeters in the gen 3 and where? I want to see what options i have. Pics would be awesome!

We recently just made custom fiberglass mounts for my friends tweeters right up in that same spot (driver/passenger window corner at mirror backing), turned out very nicely and we could definitely notice a difference (in that we turned the +16khz well down!). I just got back into the apartment, I'll see about getting some pics up later, but I highly recommend that!

Pics would be great! My friend knows how to do custom fiberglass stuff but he said its a pain in the ass. But i think that would be the best place.

I'm pretty sure ASG14 put his tweeters in that panel...send him a PM.

yea i got them installed, my tweeters didnt come with surface mounts, so we used the angled mounts and put them on the triangle panel by the side mirrors, the Boston Acoustic SX-60s sound really good, i just need to get them on an external amp so they will have some more power. Anyway, i will try to get the pics up later today, or this weekend.

Pics, anyone?

sk8ersublime · 02-14-2010, 07:28 PM

I installed these a few weeks after this thread started, but I never posted pics of the tweeters.

Here is what I did.

Thanks for the update mate. Looks solid.

chronoti · 02-15-2010, 09:20 PM

thats where i was going to put mine when i did it, there was a thread in this years back, also the 6 point jbl system had them there.

i was going to try and junk yard up that piece from the xle

yea im happy with how it turned out. I have a short in the wires in the door hinge tho I gotta fix now. When the door hits the 1st stop my driver side goes out, then comes back on after the 1st stop...

it sucks :\

always a project.....

Sound wise for clarity, albeit not as OEM looking, I think they are best put right above the window/door look controls

I dont know what option it was but most gen3's have tweeters in the armrest handle on the door panel.

heres a pic of one on an ugly tan camry!

That looks nice. But I like the Gen 4's look better of having them mounted up higher on the mirror plate.

Gen 3/3.5s with premium sound had tweeters in the doors. Standard sound didn't have them.
