snowhownd Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I've seen in some threads people saying the stock tweeter location on a LGT is not ideal, but I can't find the reasoning why. I am going to be upgrading my speakers and am trying to decide what to do - a better set of components or just go 2 way. Why do people say this? Thanks!

NutBucket Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Basically the distance between the tweeter to your ears is too different. Placing them down low places them much closer to the same distance from your ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yep, what he said^^^ Also, search for just about any of member msmith's comments on the subject in the interior/audio forum. ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fweasel Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 No complaints with my infinity perfects. Good to hear (no pun intended:lol: ). Your car, your ears, sounds good to you. However, from a technical and grassroutes point of view, the stock tweeter locations should be avoided for normal crossover range tweeter applications. ignore him, he'll go away.

hollatchaboy Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 i found the stock location horrible. one day i was fiddling with my crossover so i had to take off my door panel. i had the music playing at a lower volume, but as soon as the panel came off, the high-freq.s from the tweeter just shined like 10x more. this persuaded me to make my own fiberglass tweeter pods on my dash... problem solved.
