u got 3 options the way i see it, the A pillar, pll it out check they will fit, then u can go from there using a holesaw and wat not

in the door trim, again find a decent mounting place and go for it, or the dash

if u don't wanna drill, u can glue the mounting brakcets onto the dash and only drill a small hole for the wires, or you can mount the tweeters in with the drivers which i wouldn't recomend

Just wondering wheres the best place to mount the tweeters in the r32?

If you have a look at the Fhrx Studios site http://www.fhrxstudios.com/ in the FAQ there's a question about placing tweeters.

I followed his advice & put them in the kick panels (in my R33), the stereo sounds great. It's really counter-intuitive but it works!

Fhrx obviously knows what he's on about.

You want to fill the car with sound rather than point them right at you because you don't sit in the middle of the car. The side you are on will dominate your field of sound and ruin it all if you mount them too close to your head. That's why kick panels are a good spot or not too high in your door trim.

I'm considering almost under the dash alongside the centre console pointing to the outside of the car, next to my turbo timer on my side and sort of at the bottom corner of the glove box on the other. Untried setup as yet though.

yeah i'm with marty on that one. stick your tweets all over the place. kickpannels are renowned (in most cars) to be the most popular because it helps your imaging and staging.

kickpannel mounting is great because it equalises the distance between tweet-to-ear as close as possible. you'll find that kickpannel mounting gives the tweets similar distances on both passenger and driver side (if that makes sense).

vance dickason's loudspeaker design cookbook talks about this in-depth.... and no, you don't necessarily need to have your tweets a handspan from your mids. i've heard cars that have tweets in the kicks and mids just infront of the chairs on the floor and that car sounded amazing (the best i've heard to date, actually....)

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
