I think I have narrowed down my front componets to 2 choices, they are
JBL C608GTI MKII and Boston Acoustics pro 60se. If anyone has either of these setups, could you give me a little feedback
Thanks

 

Anyone?

 

I don’t believe you can go wrong with either of these. It really depends upon your personal preference. Listen to both and decide which sounds best to you.

How are you planning to install/mount these speakers? That can make a significant difference in the sound quality.

I'm planning on buying door pods with the speakers. My concern is where to mount the tweeters with the Boston pro's. From what I have read, you want to keep the tweeters within 6" of the mid speaker.

 

Door pods are a good choice. You hear a noticeable improvement.

I wouldn’t worry about keeping the Boston’s tweeter within 6 inches of its midrange. I think it’s more important to keep the speakers directed on the same plane. One way to maintain the 6” limit is placing the tweeters in the door panel (high and forward). You can see examples on this Forum.

Let us know what you finally decide on doing (speaker brand and mounting positions).

Why not keep the tweeters the way they come mounted out of the box? They come axis mounted right out of the box, which means they are on a bridge that goes mounted on the midrange. You cannot get any closer than that and you can still use the grill to cover them.

 

^^ Good point since the Boston Acoustics Pro 60se does have a bridged tweeter mount. Using this mount is similar to the setup of a two-way coaxial speaker. The big difference is the Boston Acoustics Pro 60se is probably “higher-end.”

I suppose the contra-argument is that placing the tweeter inside the midrange mounted in a door pod does not provide the same directional capabilities as a kick-mount, A-pillar position, or Sail Panel.

With that said, I agree with you. The bridge mount is available and does not risk introducing unexpected variables. It’s probably a good way to mount tweeters for this specific speaker.

thanks for the input guys I will look into the boston's more for tweeter placement

 

Want to make them sound even better...do door pods! I have the ones from Wickcas and the staging is great!

What's up Spike.... Your always helping! :-)

 

The plan was to install them with door pods from wicked cas
