DONE! Tweeters on A-Pillar (Pics)

So I decided to Upgrade a Little my TL Sound System.

These are the Kenwoods Tweeter Comps.


They are Small enough for my Use and Handle just enough power That I will deliver them (55-65WRMS).

Now for Ill Skip the Cutting process for Finishing Process:
(They are Completely Flushed)




(I Noticed that the Left A-Pillar "Kenwood Sign" was unleveled, I Correct it)


Just in the Middle:


Had to Bend the Backplate so it wouldnt hit the Chasis Frame:



Ill be installing these Things today Ill post Pics completely Installed and Final Toughts.

yeah well that was my intention from the beginning! I didnt want Massive Highs just the right amount to fill the Front End nicely!

And I can tell you WOW what a god damn difference the whole field just changed alot. Im too tired to take the pics and have to work early I will post them tomorrow!!!

I just wanna say: I HATE REMOVING/INSTALLING BACK SEATS, A ROYAL PITA...

Nice, you should paint them to blend in Just a suggestion

Removing the back seats is easier than running the wires to the back.

No highs no lows must be BLOZ Acura should have put tweets in from the beginning instead of EQ'ing the crap out of the 6" speakers to attempt to get the highs.

I wont return Home soon (Im in Ensenada for The Baja Off Road) but here are some iPhone Pics!:







Had some issues with Back Chasis Frame clearence but I did not have time to fix it so the Tweeters pop out a lil bit more than they need to, When I return Home I will fix it.

Sound??:
INCREDIBLE I dont know how just a couple of finger size speakers can Add up soo much Music and Detail! I Recommend this to Anyone who cares about In-Car Music Quality. I read that there are some Awesome Tweeters out there but costs $$$ And I just wanted to add more Front Imaging and Im a Loyal Kenwood fan soo... No worries here, The tweeters sound crystal clear No harsh sounds or Belling issues. Highs hit like they have to and the Postitioning helped a ton (Facing Each Other).

Total Cost: 100 Bucks (Tweeters + Tools).

Look what I bought in Ensenada for 150 (1900ish Pesos) bucks BRAND NEW UN-OPENED, UN-REFURBISHED.
Some Sites Claim up-to 250bucks New, Cheap Ebay Stores sell it for 150 but Refurbished...








I Dunno what Im going to do with this but it doesnt Hurt.
