Posted February 1, 200817 yr s10 blazer. i have 6.5 door space tweeter space in dash.if i added another set of comps in the kick panel would i wreck my sq. just wondering being that one tweet in dash one down in kick. how about comps in kick panel and use the door for just a 6.5 mid
February 1, 200817 yr Bad idea using two tweets, you want one driver per frequency range...Putting a midrange and a tweet in the kick and a midbass in the door is a fairly common way to set up a 3-way front stage, though you'd want to play around with the aiming to see what actually works best for your install. I've heard kick-mounted tweets that I've liked, and dash tweets that I've liked.
February 1, 200817 yr If you truly are using SQ as a term and understand its meaning you really cannot install two drivers playing the same frequency range.
February 1, 200817 yr Hey, we all make mistakes Good to make them in fact, as long as we learn from them.
February 3, 200817 yr Author If you truly are using SQ as a term and understand its meaning you really cannot install two drivers playing the same frequency range.maybe not in terms of pure sq, more like will it sound ok and not run into some weird cancellation that would make listening suck

Don't use the acronym if you don't know what it means.There's SQ and Not SQ. No such thing as "pure sq".It will suck for SQ having two tweeters playing the same thing. But if you're into sucking..

I've heard kick-mounted tweets that I've liked, and dash tweets that I've liked.what about those whole upstage tweets? Just wondering because i currently have the tweets high on the door and when i finaly get pods made i wanted to get tweets in them as well. Im not sure how much if ill even like the tweets on the bottom but theres only one way to find out and i can always disconnect them. lol ill stop rambling but i was just wondering because quite a few companies sell the "upstage" kits
February 3, 200817 yr I don't agree with the "upstage" idea - if mounting tweets on the pillar raises the stage height, just put the tweets there No need for two sets, and it ruins any chance of having a clearly-defined image when you have the same frequency coming from two distinct points at the same time.It's a good way for them to sell more tweeters, that's for sure.

I was actually amazed in my car the difference in the CDT upstage setup. But again, my car isn't SQ, just a nice sounding daily driver.
February 3, 200817 yr /\ and still gives you that nice eff up my system cancellation as well, no reason at all for them. Just put the one and only set there.
February 3, 200817 yr hmm so do you think id be better off leaving the tweets high in the door or as part of my pod once i get it made? Right now i like the sound where they are but i def need inprovement on my setup
February 3, 200817 yr I think you should get some Velcro or duct tape and start experimenting with what position sounds best for your install. That might be down low, high up, somewhere in between, on the dash...who knows
