yeah Lancorp the 6.5's are in the doors and the tweeters are in the dash in place of the stock 3.5's.. they are VERY bright in that location but they have been tamed some in the tuning..
I still need to tweak it .. i'm getting a little ear fatigue from the punch of the bass and have hole somewhere in the mids that is nagging at me. I may end up ditching the rear shelf sub set -up and go for a box (I was trying to avoid stealing too much trunk space as I need to throw a couple of guitars & amps back there fairly often) and add some serious EQ to the signal path.
this is my first serious foray into car audio and i can already tell it is a never ending quest for perfection!
I've read from others who have put replacements in the dash that the tweeters were too bright (Infinity 3.5" Kappa's, for one), so I steered clear of those, event though they were what I was going to get. I went with the Boston FX3's because they are not so efficient on the tweeter side.
Seems like if you took the tweeters out, put some FX3's in the dash instead, it would help smooth things out, and give some assistance to the front soundstage (so the sound doesn't sound like its coming from the floor).
Did you take the factory amp out? Are there just RCA wires running from where the factory amp was back to the trunk where your new amps are?
I haven't seen any good pictures of amplifier relocation, so I can only imagine how people are rewiring for added (or replacement) amplifiers.
Thanks and keep the info coming!
