Making a grill for some tweeters?

[KojiroTakenashi 10+ year member]

If I can manage to get employed and get the cash, I might be able to get my hands on some very (can't emphasize enough) special tweeters...

The only problem? The mounting location in the GF's car is by an armrest, and I'm worried about the domes being mushed. Does anyone know anything about making little grills to fit over silk dome tweeters?

Oh, and don't ask about the tweeters, I don't have permission to say what they are. Let's just say they're dual-chambered.

I know what he was talking about... more to the point, is why is this the only possible mounting location?

Lemme pull up some 'stock' pictures of the door setup for her car...

It's not on the armrest itself, but on the 'swoosh' near the door handle...The angle is perfect, and honestly with the 'cramped' door configuration there's really no place else for a tweeter aside from the little square bit above the woofer...thing. That would make it more easily stepped on, though, and would also require imaging tweeters anyway. The 'swoosh' angles the tweeter straight at the ears.

About the dual-chamberyness, many high-end tweeters have an air chamber behind them, to increase output. These tweeters have two chambers...which hints at the 'brand', as well as the engineer.

Edit: You guys are jerks for automatically assuming she wouldn't appreciate higher sound quality. She's a vocalist :\ Of course she's going to notice better highs.

we don't care if she appreciates it, we don't see why she'd recieve the "special" items instead of you, but it's all trash talk it'll be ok friend.

Oh, well that would be simple...because it's her money, and not mine.

Bumping...'cause I gots me an idea. I'll just place four small magnets at the edges of the grills. Simple, elegant, and effective.

Now...anyone know where I can get some good mesh and some cheap, tiny little magnets?
