Re: new system set up

Re: new system set up
just looked at the pic, it looks a bit decieving lol...the tweeter is actually aimed straight across the dash and not slightly downwards as it seems to be in the pic
When you are creating a decent sound stage, you want to fill the area infront of you...which in a vehicle, will be the dash area...when all the speakers are positioned right, believe it or not, you are able to pick out where instruments are placed on a stage! this is aimed for the SQ type of person more, however still plays its part in everyday systems to as it lifts the whole sound stage up and creates the illusion that the music is coming from infront of you...if you have the tweeters so heavily on axis like you have, you will not have a wide sound stage, instead, you will know all the sound is coming from a set point and it can lead to the sound being harsh etc
