Tweeters in the middle vent?

What do you guys think?

[Benzon]

I think from a sound standpoint that would be horrible. mids from the doors then the highs from from the "wrong" side.

[Cru328prod]

i have kick pods....just a little added highs.......i'm going to do mids like the infinity's in the seat

[Logic]

in the seat? not only is that a bad idea the sound would be like right there and you would have little to no power on them to make them sound right. kinda like the miata where the speakers were in the head rest , i think they were 3 and a half inch speakers and sound terrible becasue there right at your ears

[lamf]

plus they quit on you after a year of having the car

I haven't been into ICE in a while, but typically the best sound occurs when the tweeter is within 6-8 inches of the mid-driver.

f it i'll just order alpines din size center channel and put in under the radio

[Logic]

if you order the center channel it would be wise to get a processer that decodes in 5.1 . Center channels in cars only sound right if its decoded, throwing speakers in the center may not sound right unless there is a quiet spot in the center area. i had a 87 nissan pulsar and did a true center channel in the car which sounded great. the center channel had a vifa 4 inch mid and a vifa 1 inch tweeter which in my eyes made up that empty sound my car was lacking.

lmao i know that..........

[Logic]

well of course you do i just told you hehehehe remember logic always knows:D

real bad idea


why not just order horns like me...

[Cru328prod]

What????????????????

[Logic]

A horn tweeter is a tweeter coupled to a flared or horn structure. Horns are used for two purposes: to control dispersion, or to more tightly couple the tweeter diaphragm to the air for higher efficiency, or both. The tweeter in either case is usually called a compression driver and is quite different than more common types of tweeters. Properly used, a horn improves the off-axis response of the tweeter by controlling (ie, reducing directivity) of the tweeter. It can also improve the efficiency of the tweeter by coupling the relatively high acoustic impedance of the driver to the lower impedance of the air. The larger the horn, the lower the frequencies at which the tweeter can work as the horn will provide coupling to the air at lower frequencies. There are different types of horns, including radial and Constant Directivity (CD). Horn tweeters are often said to have a somewhat 'different' sound than non horn loaded tweeters; some regard this as better, others as worse. Horn designers note that poorly designed horns, or improperly crossed over horns, have predictable problems in the accuracy of their output. Many companies have horn loaded tweeters, but avoided using the term. The names include "elliptical aperture" "Semi-horn" and "Directivity controlled" They are nonetheless, a form of horn-loading.

i have image dynamics cd-1 pros in the merc and cd2 comps in my explorer-

can't be beat for sq or for how loud they play

also, it's easy to build an unobtrusive kickpanel for them in our cars (the mini horns tht is)
