Re: New Speakers And Flush Mount Tweets

Very nice install. What did you use to cut the tweeter holes? That was the only thing that stopped me from buying components...no power cutting tools.

Re: New Speakers And Flush Mount Tweets

very nice!!! clean install. what size hole saw did your buddy use?

off topic, but why is your passenger handle black instead of gray like the drivers side? mine are both gray. did you replace one?

Re: New Speakers And Flush Mount Tweets

nice install man... i got the same speakers in my car too.. yes they do sound amazing... the beginning when you turn it up too high, it sounds weird, but when the speakers settles down and you use it quite a bit, it sounds sweet... i never though of mounting the tweeters on the rear panel like you did, i was thinking on the rear doors, but sweet install man... enjoy

Re: New Speakers And Flush Mount Tweets

I would love to flush mount my Polk tweeters, but I don't have in my possession the 2 inch hole saw needed to cut the hole. Very nice install by the way, I just put my db 6x9's in the rear.

Re: New Speakers And Flush Mount Tweets

Nice speakers but installing components in the rear is very unecessary. You don't want all your sound coming from the rear, your imaging should be focused from the front and you should almost feel liek the sound is coming from the center of the dash. In my car the rear speakers were upgraded to 6 1/2" Coax and turned down so you just have rear feel. I suggest turn the rear speakers down to where you can barely notice them.

Re: New Speakers And Flush Mount Tweets

Re: New Speakers And Flush Mount Tweets

but it's not supposed to be coming from the center of the car, it should be coming from the center of the dash in front of you like a concert would be.
