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 :D

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... :confused:

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.
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 :D

I am not trying to be an ass, but just because all your friends sat in it and thought it sounded good doesnt mean they know what a good stereo sounds like.

And as silver streak said, you cant just put tweeters anywhere. And not only do you have to have good imaging, if they are 6 inches from your head all your going to hear is highs.

And what is Sona a knock off of? Sonance?
yes my friends do kno wat a good stereo sounds becuz they have their own audio store and they host sound competition here in my city

Okay, first of all, it's not 250 watts RMS, it's 250 watts max. I imagine that since it's one of those cheap knockoff tweeter packages, the manufacturer just decided to label 'em as "250 watts" to attract the attention of unbeknownst buyers who don't know a great deal about car audio. No coaxial/component set is rated at 250 watts RMS. Period. The actual power rating on those pair of tweeters is actually only about 2-3 watts RMS as I imagine.
rms is 125

:lol:

Before I absolutely tear you to shreds about your tweeters having a whopping ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE WATT RMS RATING, do us a favor.

Post some pics of the packaging your tweets came with. Hell, post a website where they have this ridiculous RMS rating.

Then...

http://www.caraudio.com

Go ahead if you're zealous and ask some folks what they think about your magical tweeters.

[EDIT]

Btw, did you just divide the MAX rating by 2 to get your RMS rating??!? :lol:
TakeABao said:
1) Show me.

2) No, I didn't. Show me.

[EDIT]

Just some food for thought, if you had tweeters rated at 125 watts RMS, I'd like to see the AMPLIFIER that drives 'em. I mean, c'mon. Who needs a crossover? Just...y'know...get a separate 2-channel amp to run a pair of tweeters.... :rolleyes:
1) its offbrand so it dont have a site to show u and
2) so i looked on the site http://caraudio.com and i already found some kicker and rockford fosgate tweeters wit 200 watt max and 100 watt rms so like u said, u wanted me to show u and there u go :)

o yea just found another one, one by earthquake and its rms power range is 200 watts

Well, I have plenty of Stereo shops around my way. And they have
"sound competitions?" too. And they dont know shit. They sell garbage. And they do awful installs.

People like you are what keep them in business.

I work at a conveniance store that sells milk, that doesnt mean I know how to milk a cow.

ook rite....yea my friends kno nothin about audio considerin they have one of the biggest sound competitions in my city :lol:

:note: o yea forgot to mention, i couldnt find the site the other day so i thought it was a local store but i have a friend that works up at cartronix and then i just let another one of my friends to listen in and he liked it and he is manager at cartoys :D

Maybe you misunderstood me. I dont give a shit what your friends say, I dont know you, I dont know your friends. Your tweeters are improperly placed. Period. Argue all you want, its very apparent that you know nothing about stereos at all. So you need to stop acting like you do.

:rofl: haha u are very funny :lol:
this is for u, u really deserve this :clap:
funny funny guy sayin that

Nice comeback... Dont try and prove me wrong or anything crazy like that. Now hopefully its not just me who thinks your a moron, its everyone.
u kno wat really are funny cuz from the begginnin, i havent even started to say anythin bad about u but i guess u cant understand huh, u started off sayin that my friends dont kno about sound system and i already told u about them and like u said u dont give a shit about wat my friends say so dont worry about them then, all im sayin is i got my friends who work at audio stores here, big stores and little stores, to listen to my system and they all said it is really good, i never said anythin against u so i believe u should just calm down and read wat i really put
