Alright, just got a component system to hook up, just trying to find a place to mount the tweets. Is there anything behind the panel just a little bit in front of the door handle? I'm thinking about mounting it flush there and it don't look like anything is behind it because of how thick it is, just want to make sure before I start drillin.

I always have thought 4g4d store did a great job of mounting his tweeters.

well i have mb quart's and i installed the tweeters right where you are talking about. theres nothing behind there. you are free to mount them there but it would be a good idea to take off your door panel to do it.

Thats what I just put in was MB Quarts. Yea there is nothing back there, well except i was a little too far over and accidently hit the air vent, but didn't go through it. Yea, I can't really hook up the tweeters yet until I take the door panel off, don't have the right tools right now, but just the mid by itself is just as good as the kickers with tweets that i had in there.

i think you may be referring to SPL it stands for "sound pressure level"

then there's sq, sound quality, that's where you're going for the quality of the sound over lots of bass.

Kicker is correct there.
Well once I get back home(currently 140 miles away) I will take my door panel off and mount the tweets. I drilled the hole about in the middle where the panel slants up where the speaker is. Hard to explain, its a little bit more forward from where the controls are in that yellow door.

Speaking of bass, I had my system on while I was out in the driveway wiring up my corners, and my mom came out cause the windows of my house were rattaling.

Great feeling isn't it? I loved it when I had my system. Man I miss it. Today I was in my friends teg and man does he got some bass, made my eyes shake, everything was all moving and shit, its great. He has like a MTX 500D Mono amp and 2 12 Bazooka subs.
