I would like to do this flush mount:



however, I am concerned that I should used the angled mount that is a surface mount instead. That solution is uglier, but perhaps has better imaging? Please comment!

 

tweeter by your ankles

i don't get why ?

 

i know, its kinda silly. However, my first 350z installation involved tweeters in the sail panel. That was not a good solution. I asked myself the question, "why am I sitting so damn close to the tweeter? Would I do that at home?" I couldn't stand the pain in my left ear.

So I went coaxial. That was better, but I started thinking about kick panels and how tweeters belong out of my face and right next to the woofer. The only way to get the tweeter further away from me over the coaxs is to move it down lower. Having the path lengths between each speaker and the ears as equal as possible brings you closer to home stereo speakers, and the imaging you get from those speakers.

I have reservations about frequency attenuation with the tweeter down so low. The fact is that higher frequencies attenuate very easily. At this point, however, I would rather turn the treble a little up, than down alot.

 

i respect your choice

 

i flush mounted my tweeter into my door above the door pods so it's near the woofer but still angeled correctly.

 

you'd probably want to angle that. didn't your crossover have different tweeter settings where you could have turned them down when they were high mounted?

 

on my jl audio xr650csi I had the crossover set as "low" as possible, and the treble on the car stereo was at zero (flat). Then I auditioned macintosh speakers in a friends truck with the same config. Still dont like the tweeter and woofer separated like that and with the tweet high up.
