off axis or on axis
 

just ordered a set of pioneer ts-c720prs components. i understand the tweets can be a little harsh.

what is the optimal location to mount the tweets?
1) stock location to kill some of the supposed harshness.
2) on axis to have ultimate sound stage?

also anyone have pics of on axis mounting in the 370z?

I think you would have more harshness with the tweeters balring at your window and than coming at you. I think on axis would be my recommendation. Just where to put them I am not sure.

doesnt the crossover have different settings you can wire your tw up to?

if not i'd play with the EQ's on your HU, if that doesnt cut it, try different thickness cloth/felt over the tweeter (between the grill and baffle). that dampens sound considerably.

as big mentioned, i too would consider tweeter to be in phase with the mid range or woofer.

The tweets are harsh, Id mount them low on the door possibly and off axis. Its not the tweeter itself that is harsh, its the crossover that comes with the set thats the issue. If running active is a possibility its a night and day difference.

any recommendations on a good active crossover for my set-up.

i have components up front with a 2 chan amp driving them, and two 6" bazooka tubes in back

if i get an active crossover like maybe the kicker kx3, would i then just get rid of the passive crossover that came with my components?

What HU do you have?

just the stock base hu. maybe by september i will get a little better ice in the hu dept
