What did you do with the factory tweeters in the front pillars? Did you run them in parallel like the factory or did you bypass them or?

The stock tweeters? They were replaced by Alpine SXE-1006TW tweeters in another video I did. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaPFZ6GqgNuirrssi=JWp_BYJMri0pJ8bW Factory speakers are cheap and nasty, they tend to match the head unit and together make a "vaguely acceptable sound" but they are the cheapest the manufacturer could get away with. I took the tweeters out, put them on Facebook marketplace for £10 for the pair, no one was interested so I eventually just threw them in the bin.

You dont want tweeters and mids firing at your leg. The tweeters are gonna cause a lot of sibilant waves. A wide-band mid where the tweeter is in the pillar with a woofer in the door will sound better. Cabin is too small for tweeters.

[@so-teq6142]

You don't notice as there are also tweeters at a high level. You just hear, "sound." In fact, I've now done the rears too. All I hear is left/right stereo effects but the sound is coming from everywhere. Usually you just have speakers placed in front of you. Here, it's sound all around you.

@@so-teq6142 Thats likely due to timing. For the speakers to sound like they are in front of you. The timing correction needs to be set. The real problem is wasting the 15 watts rms that unit makes on 2 pairs of tweeters and mids..
