Advice mounting tweeters in SC
Hey all I bought some CDT componants which I installed in my sc300. The problem was they are 1" tweeters and were too big to use the factory tweeter mounts. I completely removed the mounts to fit them but the way they fit now, they basically face more towards the windshield and cant hear them as well. (sounds alot better when I put my head near the steering wheel =p) I ws wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and how they mounted them. I was thinking maybe another spot but I dont think it would be as clean. Also was thinking about modiying the speaker grills on the door panel for the tweeter. I could also probably buy a smaller tweeter and use the factory mounts. What do you all think?

I was sitting in my car waiting for class today and was thinking about how I could fix my problem. I took off the grill and even with the tweeter pointing the wrong way it still sounded 2x better. I think the very small grill in the actuall plastic is keeping ALOT of sound from getting out. Now im pretty convinced for it to sound really good im going to some how mount the tweeter with a clear path to the ears. I was thinking of modifying the tweeter grill by maybe cutting a hole large enough to mount the tweeter "outside" of the grill but I dont know how good it will look. I think the second best place to mount them would be the a-pillar but I think that would look pretty bad. Any other ideas?

Hey Billy, Im at work now so I cant send any pics right now. However, my tweeters are not stock appearing at all. I removed the grill cloth from the grill, drilled a 1" hole into the plastic and seated the tweeter flush onto the face of the plastic. I'll try to send pics when I get home.
