SPEAKER PLACEMENT
CONSIDERATIONS:
A component system gives you the ability to place
the woofer and tweeter separately in your vehicle
interior. This can be good or bad, depending on how
it’s done. As a general rule, the tweeters should be
placed relatively close to the woofers for best tonal
balance and most coherent imaging (the closer, the
better). Any separation greater than 8 inches (20 cm)
is likely to result in degraded sound quality.
Avoid placing tweeters where they will be blocked
by objects in the interior of the car (including seated
occupants). When selecting a mounting location,
look at both sides of the car to make sure that this
location is clear on both sides.
You can always experiment with tweeter
placement before committing to a final mounting
location. Simply connect the rest of the system
and allow plenty of wire length for the tweeters.
Using Velcro
®
or similar material, attach the
tweeters in different locations until you find the
one where they perform best.
Woofers will usually be placed into factory
speaker locations. If you have some woofer
mounting flexibility, keep the following in mind:
Lower mounting locations, such as the lower
front corner of a door or a kick-panel provide
the greatest path length distances for the sound
emitted by the woofer. For this reason, they are
generally more desirable than higher mounting
locations. Higher mounting locations often result
in extreme near-side soundstage bias which
compromises the stereo listening experience.
