Default Tweeter install in 5th gen Accord*pic*

A week or so ago, this is what I said regarding tweeter install location, "After taking a closer look at the door panels, I think im gonna mount them to the top left of the stock speaker location. There is an angled portion on topside of the speaker grill, im gonna see once I get the panel off if I can mount them there, that way they won't be right next to the door handle screaming for a thieves attention." And guess what I found today

I guess that location is alright since it's actually closer to the midbass and is angle adjustable. Only thing though, he avoided the speaker grill, I don't really like that cause it looks like the tweeter is jammed in the corner. I'd move the location of my tweets down a bit so it's partly on the grill, partly on the door panel, have it sitting flush so it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb.

what does my whole setup have to do with tweeter placement? I don't have any speakers up front right now, wanting to get some components though, just tossing around idea's about where to install the tweets so they aren't so obvious to passers-by and would be thieves.

If you're gonna put them that low, you are better off putting them behind the stock grille... at least then you wont see them at all. Being they are that low, you're not going to notice much of a SQ or imaging difference... and your passenger's leg will still be in the way.

put them in the upper part of the door panel, in front of the door handle... and paint the grilles to match the vinyl... then they blend in... my friend did that in his 98 accord... looks really nice, and they are hard to see when looking in the car.

Or you can cover the mesh grilles and trim ring with beige-brown grille cloth...
