tweets in kick panels ??"s

[Fever]

My '97 had factory tweets in the sail panel. I changed everything out for a Fusion set in the factory locations. The stage was not very high or in front. I couldn't play too much with angles as the panel openings/grilles faced into the centre of the interior and didn't have much room to adjust. If they could have faced each other more it may have been better.

My next install I put cdt tweets in the kicks and a second set on the a-pilars thru a L-pad. I did run just the kick tweets for a couple weeks and the stage lift right up and spread accross the dash much better than the sail panel mount. The a-pilar tweets just made it better again.
I have pics if you want.

yeah, please post pics, it would be very helpful. when you had the tweets in the kicks,were there also tweets in the a pillars, or did you move them? one or two sets of tweets?

Two sets of tweets. First set in the kicks for a couple weeks then added a second set on the a-pilars.




The a-pilar tweets are pretty much facing each other. The kic tweets are aimed more or less toword the centre of the cabin ceiling. They all swivel in their base to play with.

nice, thanks for the pics, I like the kicks a lot. I unfortunaltely have to g oa pillar, behind my kick panel are a lot of fuses and relays and I don't line to mess with electrical stuff. I wish I had deeper kicks, but my momo tweets also swivel, so I'll find a spot wit hthe double sided tape and then fine tune with the surface mount bracket, should be good when my wires finally arrive

Do you have an Avalon, or is it just in your name. The tweets really do not take much room in kick. I didn't have to move any of the stock wires and boxes that are behind there. And this is a Camry, so the Avalon wouldn't be any smaller I think.


Now my a-pilars were another story. I couldn't flush them in without a nice fg job that I don't have the skills for yet. So I surface mounted them. Maybe in the future.

the avalon is wierd, it has reallt narrow kicks to allow for my legroom, it's nice in the room respect, but really limits car audio upgardes, what ere they thinking

6.5 in doors, mids in kicks and tweets in kicks, possible to a pillar, but I will tune first then see if I need to move tweets up.
