Component speaker installs

[Jonathan Moore]

Well all of my stuff for the stereo has finally shown up. I have one amp placed behind the passenger rear seat in the compartment area. I have another amp that is built into the rear passenger seat. I have cut out a section in the rear driverside seat to allow for more room and i bult a box out of mdf that sits behind it for my 10" woofer. (this is just temporary until i find the time to fiberglass a box back there) Well starting tomorrow the weather is finally supposed to become warm so I figure once I get out of class I will get started with my install. (Keep in mind I live in an apartment complex just off campus and I dont have access to any shop so all my work will have to be done with minor tools in the apartment and just outside.) Now with that said my question has to do with installing my components. I bought a set of infinity kappa 50.7 series components and I went ahead and precut mounting brackets for the 5 1/4's and now im trying to decide where to go with the tweeters. All 4 doors are getting component sets and I was wondering if I should go with just mounting the tweets in the doors or maybe fiberglassing two into the A-pillar and then doing something with the rear two. If anyone has any pictures of what they have done with tweeters I would love to see some of the mounting locations that people have gone with.



Sorry it was so long but I just wanted to cover everything that was going on so if there were any pointers I would be aware. Thanks

I installed the alpine components in my st and they fit in the factory speaker location, the tweaters mounted to the door panels just above the factory grates over the speakers, I installed the two amps one behind the passenger rear seat and the other under the driver rear seat that runs the sub, smaller mono amp. Put a probox 10" under pass rear seat and it sounds great. Also added a rockford cap to keep the lights from dimming and the amps running strong. All is alpine except the sub, cap and dual amp install kit.

I installed my tweeters in the doors, just above where the rear view mirror switch is. This is as good of place as you can get for imaging and sound without making fiberglass enclosures somewhere. There is plenty of room behind this location to flush mount the tweeters as well as mount the crossovers. Bringing the tweeters up higher brings up the soundstage so it sounds like the speakers aren't mounted at your feet.
