ID OEM's + Seas Neo's = awesomeness!

Hot glue will do the trick. But if I did it again, i'd use something like 5 min epoxy or FG resin for a better bond.

well these Seas are a huge step up from what i was using so i am really happy with them. the press fit wasn't a problem for me, and i prevented the tinsel lead problem with some hot glue and about 2 minutes of time. they seem well worth the price i paid.

Well then there you go. They are a good value. I'm just really picky about tweeter sound, i guess. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The SEas Neos are nice. A little too soft for my tastes, but that's how most Seas systems are that I've heard. I would say they are "airy". Too bad the Lotus tweets can't be had for the same price as the Neos.

they were $63 plus shipping for the pair. pretty inexpensive really.
ummmm, it's hard to explain but the terminals on the tweeters are just a bit fragile. so to prevent any issues i used some hot glue to reinforce them. i didn't take any pictures to show, sorry.

Where exactly did you hot glue them? I should do that to mine seeing as how my last set failed on me.

EDIT: Just saw the pic above my post.

Hmmm alot of people say the alums sound better off axis but I am glad to hear you like them. I am running the VC100s right now but I am thinking about those or Vifa XT25s if James decides sell them. I might just buy a set just to have since they get such good feedback. Ill need a low playing tweeter when I step up from my Mli 65s to the peerless mids I just purchased from Slammed. Nice install too.

hmmm... from most of what i read people have said they sounded better on-axis.

they do sound great on-axis. lots and lots of top end detail.

well the pillar stock was wrapped in headliner material so i just put it right over top of that. just used a 3M spray adhesive. it was pretty easy really.

nice set up, you inspired me to the same with my tweeters. I also have a scion tc 06.

I also redid my pods to house my tweeters like yours, mine are slighlty on-axisfor imaging & i do have a set of cdt / vifa es01 tweeters. I mounted them on the outside of the tweeter stock location, slightly off-axis.

For the pods i did like you with the pvc piping, but i glass,primered, & painted them.

I went back to my cdt drt25 from seas neo , which i need something a little more brighter.

my mids are aurum cantus 7 which was so hard to get to fit into these tc doors, i had to cut the four coner flanges off of it.

I mad it fit.

the cabin of the tc seems to reproduce sounds & imagings so nicely without having to do much time correction to the sound stage.

I'm using cdt passive satnet560 x-over for now, but when get some money i think i will try to go active with an out board x-over.

keep up the good work

oh i have read many people critize you for aiming your tweeters on-axis/ at you. it really does sound better in the tc's.

thanks for inspiring me to try something new.
