you have pioneed components in your can?:slap: Learn how to spell fool I follow you, just being a jerkh: so where do they belong? News flash bro, the world is full of low lifes, that's why car/property theft is so rampant. Im not worried about the theif stealing my components, thats the least of my worries. Im worried that he wouldn't stop there, that he'd get everything esle in my car, if not the whole damn car. The less "eye candy" a thief see's, the more likely whats yours will remain that way. I had a 4th gen Civic w/over 5k invested into it, and it got stolen and raped. I would like that not to happen this time around.

 

Im trying to just help here and give u an advise and what do I get u call me a fool and a jerk? What r stupid? I hope u r just joking...

 

relax bro, take it easy, see the smilie at the end of the word fool in my post that looks like this? that signifies my playing with you. I said I was being a jerk by getting on you about your spelling. Im not exactly sure what you meant my saying "What r stupid" I see some people can't take some playful ribbing

 

Has anyone considered installing tweeters in the black triangular caps covering the inside of the side mirrors? (on 5th Gen LX's)

This would put them in roughly the same spot as the Civic EX's.

 

yeah, i was gonna do that but i cant get em flush due to the power mirrors, but its coo, im doing a more stealth install

 

My neighbor has factory tweeters on her 94 Accord EX. There o the top of the dash, right at the end of the windsheild. I guess that would be right above the vents that your talking about??

 

What if you mounted you tweeters up top. For instance ona 4 door, where the seat belt is, up top on the roof. How would that sound for imaging??

 

I have my Kappa 60.5cs components mounted at the stock locations...midrange woofer down at the door and tweeters at the stock dash corners. Yes, mounting them on the window sail allows for best imaging, but I wanted the car to be as stock as possible.

Having the tweeters at the dash corners isn't THAT bad, just make sure you use the crossovers that were made for the components and you should be fine, I also set the HU to have it play just slightly louder in the front to compensate for the poorer imaging since the rear 6x9s are at the perfect imaging on the rear deck so they sound great.

The problem you'll get with installing in your LX is the lack of stock wiring. Wut I would propose doing, is goin to a junkyard and try to find the EX dash tweeter's housing so it'll fit perfectly. The housing will come with the stock harness that you may not use, you'll just connect the tweeter wires to the crossovers. You may have a problem mounting the aftermarket tweeters onto the stock housing as their depths vary, but all this takes is a little ingenuity...you'll see wut I mean when you take everything apart.

Honestly, the accord's imaging in the front is really bad...mids are set too low, and the tweeters are at a ridiculous place. But some good components will make a world of difference...you'll love the music that much more.

Hopefully this helps...lemme know how it goes!

 

I read in a book about car stereos that you don't want the tweeters too far away from the mids. For it to sound right the mids and highs should come from the same place.

I dunno. I wish I didn't mind cutting holes in the door panels. You could put one pretty easily in the area between the current speaker and the arm rest.

 

That's true, ideally, within a foot or so.

There are exceptions to every rule, of course, but for the most part, you should stick to this for the best imaging.
