Broken Glass · Post by **Broken Glass** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 6:14 pm

Well i blew the tweaters so can someone tell me the size of them? im at school and am looking at new ones and i dont have acess to measuring devices haha. thanks

second question: i have all 4 other speakers replaced. so im prolly going to amp them at the same time i do this. so id need to get a 4 channel amp, re-wire all the speakers to it with a thicker gauge speaker white, then run the tweeters off the front two speakers using cross-overs correct?

Dash: 3.5"
Doors: 6.5"
Rear: 6"X 9"

if you going to use the an amplifier for doors and rear deck, run the dash tweaters to the door wires.

the stock tweets are actually 1" with an adapter plate to fit in the 3.5" hole.

be careful if you are adding tweets and mids (door) to a single channel on the amp. most 4 channel amps will run in 2ohm or 4ohm configurations but not mixed. if you buy a complete set of components for the front they should be configured to run at a 4ohm final load.

to be honest if you already changed the door speakers just amp them on their own and forget about adding tweets to the dash. it's a horrible mounting spot to begin with as the sound waves reflect off the windshield.

i agree with that does not make much diff from oem's.
i wish they were on the door from factory.

they can be. it's quite easy. these are my old type-r comps which have long since been replaced but you get the idea.

if you do go this route make sure your tweet mounts are the flush kind and i found it to sound better using the swivel mounts. it gave me a little more control on the position since they are mounted off-axis, but with the adjustment it is very close.

well i already have type R's in the back and type s's in the doors. my stock tweeters are blown so i need a replacement. so ill mount the tweeters in the door area. Can anyone recommend an amp for these? im not sure how to pick the propper one

It's mentioned alot here... and I guess it doesn't make much difference if yer replacing them and a head unit...
but I'm pretty sure...

THE STOCK SPEAKERS UP IN THE DASH ARE NOT TWEETERS, JUST SMALL FULL RANGE SPEAKERS.

no?

technically a tweeter is a full range speaker as well, it just cannot reproduce all the frequencies. the factory speakers, in the simplest terms, are garbage

Fer sure. I couldnt believe the difference of having tweeters in the pillars, the music is actually coming at you not from a "mystery" zone.
