Moved my Cal 25 Tweet *pics*

[jacka 10+ year member]

Decided to change my tweeter location after playing around a bit the other day. Finally got to it today. Somehow the doorknob bit was pretty much the same size cutout that needed, which made things a bit easier.

What I used:

Then to work I go.. removing the door panel:

After the hole was drilled:

Stuck it in there:

Left door:

Whole right door:

The staging didn't drop too low as some people might think, it got just a tad bit lower. However, the sound difference was definitely worth it, at least my ears thought so. Reproduction got a lot smoother and the sound was more full. Imaging a bit better. Did a better job than I thought I would.

Cool.

The tweeters in my Grand Cherokee fired towards the windshield, it was kinda rough at times.

I know how fatiguing it can be.

Yeah, and the stock ones sure like to blow. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

To the poster - very clean, I love how it looks, and I bet it sounds awesome with that placement. Kudos.

I can see where it can sound alot better than speading the drivers cross country. It allows for a more coherent, seamless single point source type of response. Eliminates phasing issues, and makes even order slopes optimal. I had huge underlaps between my drivers or it just wouldnt sound right, not anymore.

Heres my most recent change for the better. My stage height is determined by the angle on my midranges -and on the contrary its pulled higher by the tweets rather than down. Its quite easy to see for yourself, listen to your vocals without the tweets and then turn them on. It'll likely pull the stage up no less than a foot or more. And those sources of sibilance and higher freq instruments should appear better placed on the stage with more depth as sound is coming uniformly from the same vaccinity.

In other words you equalized your pathlength differences.

excuse my ignorance, but what does "out of phase" mean?

To the OP, I thought that was some really good work.

Flip the polarity on one of your speakers(i.e. reverse the wiring + to - to say your tweet), and that driver will be out of phase with the other drivers.
