Mounting Rainbow Germ Tweets.

I was surprised to not find the angle mounts when I opened the box...thought that was the standard. The sails are out as the dash hides the drivers side. The pillar mounts would face towards the glass...that's where the stock location is. I do plan on sticking them in different spots prior to the final mount, but in my truck install,(same doors), with some Bostons, my favorite mount was behind the door grills angled towards the opposite headrest. It is the best location on these rigs with lots of room, but needs to be angled to raise the stage. I will look into the angle mounts....anyone have a set they aren't using?
ALSO....anyone have a link to see the various mounts they have available? Their websight has nothing....

The reason they dont come with angle mounts is because of their chambered/accoustic volume backside. Its mounting depth is substantially larger than your typical flat backed compact tweeter.

Hmmm yeah they are bigger alright. What is a good solution to get some angle on these?

Can you post a pic showing your installation options?

I would go for the apillar being its the stock location .Stealth=clean. It'll provide you with the deepest and highest soundstage out of any other choices.

If you wanna look at'm, flush mount'm.

Here are pics of the Tahoe doors. The stock tweeter location is angled towards the glass...not sure how that will image non-Bose. I really like the location behind the screen for obviouse reasons...it is large. Only thing is, it has a flat surface, so mounting them flush there would put them knee high facing towards each other.

I will add the other sail is buried by the dash.

Rainbow does indeed offer mounting accessories for the CAL25 tweeter. Page 20 of 2006 Rainbow Catalog.

Thank you, that is what I need exactly. Though driving a screw right through them was a fine idea.......

well i have a 94 camry and my stock tweets are located in the door inside the grip handle on the arm rest. I love the imaging. its aimed at the other passengers head rest. I put string on the tweet and straightened it out to see angle. I dont own germs but this imaging was a nice. thought id share.

I have a 93 Camry, and I don't think there is enough space for the Germanium tweeters.
