[QUOTE="Jarick, post: 6907136, member: 623963"] Little update, I've played around with the positioning of the tweets a few times, and I think I like them best closer to the doors and higher up, basically just a bit below the bottom of the dash. They're pointed roughly in front of the opposite side listener. Having them lower made them muffled and skewed the imaging, while pointing them more on axis was obviously harsh and biased toward the far side. Here are the front doors before and after: [IMG]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e329/jarick/Car/IMG_0385.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e329/jarick/Car/IMG_0386.jpg[/IMG] I will say, sealing the giant holes and deadening the rear doors REALLY made a different. I was listening to "Cave In" by Owl City, which is a great test of the highs and lows, and all the lowest synth parts played really well. The higher pitched bass synth is coming through louder, so I'll probably try the "low EQ" boost and lower the volume a bit and hope that evens out. But holy crap, it sounds at least as good as a single 10" sub, and with a bit of EQ these would MORE than do the job. Not heavy hard hitting bass, but just really strong musical low end. I don't think they'll take a lot of power though. But yeah, sealing the rear doors was huge. But the fronts...didn't make much difference. I'll say I rarely notice much difference when deadening doors, and these ones were already fairly well sealed (unlike the rears). It did reduce some rattle, but the sound didn't clean up much. Oh well. Maybe I'll get a bit less road noise out of the deal. [/QUOTE]
