no offense but i thought you were supposed to put the tweeters in the front of a car, preferably in the door panels since they deliver the high notes whereas the subs go in the back to boom boom the bass.

your CAI setup is interesting looks good

Nice tweeter setup man, must sounds real nice.

hey ripley, tweeters can go pretty much anywhere you want, they will sound good for whoever is in the back cuz they won't get drowned out by the bass.

^^ ahh ok i didn't know...i had only seen tweeters up front before, i don't know too much about sound systems i am more into the engine myself

i'm sure its a nice setup then paradize

yea u can put tweeters anywhere, i already have tweeters in my front so i dont need it there so the back didnt have any so added some to spice up the sound, now it sounds sweet

You can't just put tweeters 'anywhere', they need to be imaged properly to get the correct sound outta them. Looking at your setup, they're just pointing straight ahead...they both need to be directed to an imaginary point (usually the center) to produce the correct sound stage. If I were you, I'd move the tweeters to each side of the car and then point it to the center passenger seat. As well, try to keep them no more than 1 foot away from the rear speakers.

Subwoofers are non-directional; they can go wherever you want. Tweeters produce directional sounds, they have to be placed carefully.

k i didnt say it right, i meant like almost anywhere or in a lot of places , but my tweeters arent really pointin straight ahead, i have them angled pointin to the center so thats how i am gettin the sweet sound right now

Actually, studies have shown that the higher pitched the frequency (smaller the wave), the more directional it is.

Bass is by far more undirectional than treble.

I don't mean to flame you, but there's no such thing as "250 watt" tweeters. Period.

Sona aye? I've never heard of it. CarAudio.com hasn't either. Apparently, even Google doesn't acknowledge the existence of Sona tweeters. You got a link? I sure hope they're not those cheap addon tweeters you find at Best Buy/Fry's...

As for the placement, I'm not a firm believer in rearfill. All it does it cause noise cancellation. But hey, if you're happy with what it sounds like, I'm not going to argue otherwise.

Nice but cloth seats need to go.

its 250 watt max tweeters, but i kno sona is not a brand name, there is a street in my city that sells brand name audio and off name, sona is off brand but is as good as a brand name, like there is the brand name audiobahn but here there a sub called autobahn, its same sub but just an offname autobahn, same quality and everything, but believe me, i wouldnt buy the tweeters if it wasnt a good product, and yes when i added, it did help the audio sound in the rear so yes i am happy

^ well what sounds good is subjective, so if you're happy with the sound then

yes very true, and also all my friends that sat in my car also really like the sound so yes i am happy and my friends are happy hehe lol

I like the placement of the tweeters. They add to the car in my opinion. Some tweeters may not sound the best in that place but with 250 watts they have gotta sound great through out the entire car. I like the creativity.
