[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8751716, member: 675210"] The car is forcing me to take some time off work. Radiator busted. New one should be here Tue. the 29th. While I have some time I am going to add some tweeters to the car. When I sold the G6 coupe I forgot my ARC audio tweeters and Silverflutes in the doors so all I have left now are my used DD T2b silk domes and my new Dayton Audio 1" titanium domes. The DD's are "25w - 150w" 90db and sound great. The Daytons are "40w - 80w" 95db and their graph shows excellent off axis response and would mount easier. The signal chain will be/is Kenwood (in network mode) to Soundstream 4 channel (Mids in lower door - Tweets in A-Pillar corners) to RF Prime 1200-1D (2-10" RF P3 @ 1ohm). Time alignment, distances and delays handled by the Kenwood head unit. I am leaning heavily towards the Dayton tweeters simply because they are metal domes. The last metal domes I had were the Massive CT1a's and they were really crisp until I broke one... well it broke. My ears aren't what they used to be and highs tend to roll off for me above about 15khz. I am thinking the Ti domes will brighten things up. I am struggling with how I want to mount them. I can flush surface mount them by drilling through the factory tweeter mount or mount them from behind in the factory tweeter mounts. I do have the correct hole saw to flush mount them but then they would be visible. As it sits now, all you can see of any audio products is the head unit. What to do, what to do? [/QUOTE]
