[QUOTE="JaJay721, post: 234850, member: 548246"] Different speakers respond differently and act differently. A coaxial and a tweeter act differently than a component set. The component set needs to compliment each other to produce a clear sound. If you turn off either the mid or the tweeter they will sound like crap (even blown) on their own, but together they sound amazing. If you seperate them too far your ear will not be able to combine both signals giving you two seperate sounds which will not have the same sound quality. Tweeters mounted too far from the coaxial can be wired out of phase which tones them down a bit and will actually raise your SQ level off the meter and sound better in person. However, as a general rule for installing component speakers if you are not running for SQ competitions and during a regular install you would want the tweeter as close as possible. But to tell a kid who is trying to install a set of components in his Civic and needs to consult a car audio forum that not mounting the tweeter next to the woofer because people win in SQ contests seems a bit harsh. Sometimes knowledge is best left unsaid to prevent causing him from making a mistake. [/QUOTE]
