placing tweeters

[sporting_punto]

Hiya everyone, the question is where to mount my tweeters from a component set.
right i have a punto 60S and i have just bought some infinity component speakers and have mounted the main speaker in some gt door cards, but i dont really know where to put the tweeters as i dont want to put any holes in the dash, i know that they are directional and should be put there but i was wondering if i could put them into my centre console as i have bought one off of a gt,so am playing with that idea? where would you lot recomend puttin them which would save the dash,

cheers everyone.

As you correctly say, tweeters are very dependant on where they're facing, so you're not leaving yourself many options. If you dont want to cut/drill the dash, but have them mounted there, try using some high strength double sided tape or velcro As for wires, im not too sure on the 60S or GT configuration, but if they're at the sides, you should be able to avoid cutting.

i was just wondering this as with the set i have it comes with bases which can be adjusted so that it points at any angle so surely it wouldnt be noticable? call me stupid if im wrong tho lol

Yep, the tweeters are adjustable. In my old car, I mounted the tweeter on the door card, small hole for the wire and angle the unit appropriatley, jobs a good 'un.

Or you could cut a hole for the tweeter to go in and have it flush mounted.

ye thats what i mean the base that i want to use sits flush and thewn you just change the angle of it but i dont want to damage the dash, so will there be an amaing difference in sound when placing the tweeter in the console or on the dash? cheers
