Ok, so I am finally breaking down and installing tweeters and components... I originally wanted to get some .75 or .5" tweeters that I could put in the sail panel next to the side mirrors. Unfortunately, the ones I am buying from my friend are oversized 1" tweets w/o a flush mount kit. Where can I put them to sound good(but may not be permenant -- I have decided yet)?<P>Pics help a lot.

make sure you put them within one foot of the mid... otherwise your sound wont be as good

What's the frequency and order of your cross-overs for the tweeter and door?<BR>Do you have 'kicks' or just the factory speaker location?<P>The suggested difference between speakers depends on a number of factors, but is intended to minimize the phase difference, and intensity differences.<P>If you use really high order crossovers, you can pretty much mount them coaxial (provided the tweat can take the spl), or equidistant from your ear. <P>For a 1st order crossover put the tweat so that the distance form your ear to the tweat is about 1/4 of the wavelength closer to your ears than the distance from ear to Mid.

all I am asking is where did everyone else put their tweets? I am not gonna put them like they are co-axils... thats ugly as hell. I wanted to get some good 3/4" tweets and put them in the sail panels on the doors.... but I don't think 1" will fit.

anyone got a more "custom" idea? I want something, "not so easy" to try. I am not a SQ guy, but I want my tweeters to look like they aren't stock.<BR>I am gonna run up to my stereo shop tomorrow anways just to return something... the head installer there is a HUGE SQ competitor, so I will talk to him if he isn't busy.

I've seen them in the vents on a lot of different cars. Never seen it done on an mx-3 yet tho.
