Hello all,
Just worked out some great deals on components, so now I need to figure out how to mount them.
Picked up 2 amps, both Precision Power with integral crossovers, the works...one is rated at 50W x 2 @ 4 ohms, the other is 75W X 2 @ 4 ohms. I also picked up MB Quart speakers; for the front, 3 way 6.5" woofer, 4" mid, 1" tweet. 3 way crossover; nice setup.
I also picked up a set of 5 1/4" coaxials for the rear, also MB quart. If I'd like I can exchange them (plus only a few bucks) for 5 1/4" 2 way component speakers.
Plan as it stands now is to mount (if possible, or do I need to go smaller???)coaxials in the rear. In the front, the woofer and mid locations are straighforward, but where to mount the tweeters?? For a surface-mount setup, the tweeter is 2.5" in diameter, so there's really nowhere I can put them on the pillar without looking silly. I'm thinkig about flush-mounting them into the upper corners of the dash speaker grills (nearest the windshield, on the corner nearest the center of the windshield)...any thoughts as to how this would sound??
I'm going to deal with the sub issue later...but will run the cables now. Will likely sacrifice the first aid kit to do so, unless another option presents itself.
As to the amp placement, I was thinking of hanging them from the underside of the parcel shelf, between the rear speakers inside the trunk. They're not very tall, so they won't be noticeable and they'll get good air flow. any thoughts on this would be appreciated too.
Thanks in advance all!
