I'll give you the proper explanation when i find it.

There is abit to this. But generally the sound it abit all over the place.

Instead sounding in front of something or behind something. It sounds like the trumpets on the dash but the bass drum is on the floor of the car, in a nutshell.

I found a really good article explaining the "rainbow" effect and what you can do to try and prevent it from happening.

Sometimes simply relocating the tweeters can make a huge difference into how a system sounds.

So it is a "bad" thing ?

I will google it in a sec.. sounds interesting.

yeah nice bit of gear, i just cannot quite figure out the location of the tweeters, or least the one tweeter that is, i could not find the other tweeter.

Does that location give you very good imaging?
Also does it create the rainbow effect all?

Just really interested.

Ill take some better pics of both tweeters on Sunday. I only posted the pic of the tweeter on the drivers side. The problem is all tweeters have a different response so it wont be perfect for all tweeters but it may be worth looking around that are to find it.

Imaging is awesome, it took about 2.5hours to get it right. Everyone comments on how good the channel separation is. Depth is great but of course height isn't perfect ( I am 190cm and sit in the car straight up, bad back lol ) but on the whole it is good. Most people can not tell. As with all well staged front's, the sound is coming all from the front. The sub is a little out of phase ( by about 60-80deg ) but on the whole blends in very well.

Gear is ok, its by no mean great but of course they are installed to maximise the potential. Dyanzorb pads are only there to absorb the rear waves. They are only one part of improving free air response from a mid. They can be used in a sub box to...

I like the front hook with the distro block and optima.

Have some SL60's hooked up in my Dads mitsubishi, they sound good and go loud.

Interesting spot for the tweeters, I tested the depth in the standard location and couldnt/wouldnt get them to fit without cutting, thinking about mounting at the pillars...

Like the red leds on the box but not so sure about the look of it.

All in all, a nice install.

Nice work!

So mounting tweeters level with the mids gives a more focused sound, that is the high and low "sound" like the are from the same place?

I thought the go was to mount the tweets up high as higher freq is directional, whereas the mids and especially the sub are non directional.

Why run splits then??

Alrighty, here is a myth not many people seem to understand.

Only subs are non directional, anything about 150 - 200HZ is directional.

Therefore mounting your tweeter as close to the mid as possible is usually best. But not always, with technology of what it is today, you can often mount them apart and by using time alignment crossover settings and gains you can fool the system that sound like the mid and tweeter are near each other.

Like we have done so in the R?

Yeah it is looking really good mate, I don't know if you have mounted your tweeters yet but I'm going to get piccies of them today for you to much around...

Good luck eliminating those rattles from the 8's!

I tried taking them off my camera but it's not wide enough so ill use a work camera with a wide angle lens to fit it in ( I work at a camera shop )!

[Mr ©harisma]

Ok so it took a Tamron 14mm f2.8 lens to get it but here they are. Both left and right side tweeter mounting and mid comparison.
