splits to replace the front speakers..

[hippy]

i just went by what my JL peice of paper said to do ... put it next to each other even though it had attenuation levels for both woofer and tweeter .. sounds pretty good though although i still need some deadening ...

My splits are door mounted with wood backing and the tweeters are mounted on the mirror mounts, sounds great. Get the tweeters pillar mounted or on the mirror backings.

When mounting splits and achieving the best staging you'll find every car is different. Sometimes the tweeter ends up over in the kick panel where as other times we build little tweeter bridges to hold the midrange over the woofer, like this:

I would let the gap between them get any larger than 300mm though. This is why people often experience channel separation when the tweeter is in the sail and the mid is in the bottom of the door.

Just a little update...

Got FHRX (Marty) to install the Hertz splits today - and they sound great !!! Even though they are powered off the deck..

Thanks again Marty - you did an awesome job..

P.S - now i understand about the tweeters in the kick panel !!

Cheers,

Matt
