L Righto, but the deal is to make the most of what we got, literally ANYONE can simply pour $$$ into replacing components and STILL have the best soound at those mice on the floor.

Yea the locations & positions are not optimal but sound is not straight line or beamed at you in the 1st place. It travels in waves in a circular fashion from the originating source. If it were to be beamed, then no one would be able to hear it if they weren't in it's direct path.

If you want to better aim the rears, just build an angled spacer & do some triming to the plastic panel inside.

L: this is the plan if it does not creat a messy situation at door pnl.

If you really want optimium imaging from the rear, I have a pair of 2way seperates for sale in the marketing section I'm not planning to use. Then you can relocate the tweeter where you like.

Will check out the ad......

As far as the doors, Yea DC screwed us in firing them at our ankles. but then again, without rebuilding the panel, you can reposition the door speakers to fire at a better angle too.

L: thats the plan, we shall see if I get out and do it for real.

The front tweets will help raise the image, but I would consider adding a volume control to them so they can be adjusted. I'm not keen on tweeters firing at the windshield. It tends to distort the real image I am trying to setup.

As far as chambers go, a little sound dampening will go a long way in cleaning up the reflections & noises that occur in a car. You don't need to build a cabinet for all the speakers, the main objective is to keep the back sound wave from canceling the front wave we listen to. Also to keep the back wave from vibrating anything else behing it. That requires energy which takes awy from the sound energy we are trying to listen too.

IMHO we ALL are forgetting the old days. When guys cut holes in package shelf and added as large speakers as they could afford, and use trunk space to enhance bass. Trubble is it was too large a space. Eventually the industry caught on and created such as hatchback boxes and finally custom boxes.

Anyway its interesting, and should quite posting this thread until some resolutions are made and installed- beyond those reflecting 1/8" plexi sheets.
