I've finished purchasing all the components for my stereo in the teener. I think it's going to be AWESOME when I've finished it.
Aiwa detachable face CD Aftermarket 6.5 inch speaker panels 6 inch bass tube (I shortened it from 22 inches to 14 inches, to fit snug up under the passenger side dashboard Clarion 6.5 inch component speakers (comes with 2 crossovers, and 2 tweeters to separate high and low frequencies) If you've ever heard a set of component speakers in a car, they are AWESOME...... but here's my question: Where do I mount the 1-inch tweeters?? They should be about the same distance from your head as the 6.5's.... so has anyone done this yet?? I thought about the doors, but the window cranks get in the way. I thought about the dash, but its too small, curvy, and cluttered with vents, knobs, etc. Maybe the sides of the center console?? Suggestions?? Help?? Heres a pic of my interior (before any stereo upgrades)... not that it matters... everyone else's interior looks the same--LOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s) |

I looked at a 914 last spring and the guy had installed 2 12" subs. He just cut 2 12" holes through the back pad and rear firewall, and mounted the speakers. When you opened the engine bay, you could see 2 big speaker magnets and wires hanging out. The speakers weren't enclosed or anything. I idn't here it, but I'm sure it sounded like crap, it certainly looked bad, and I bet it was pretty hard on the speakers to be hanging out in the engine bay. All in all, an ugly job. I wouldn't reccomend trying it.
