Great job on deadening the doors. Where are you putting the tweeters?

thats the question i was just about to ask i rather have them in the a pillars but cdt strongly suggested i keep them right next to the mid-sub

thing is i dont have much room there and my foot always blocks the door panel thats why i rather go with a pillar mount

so what do you guys recommend

Get everything in where you want them and test with the tweeters. Get some double sided tape and test multiple areas until you are happy, then install them.

If the mid doesn't have extended frequency response and ability to play up to the 4K area you want to keep the tweeters out of the A-Pillars and next to the mids.

At least they know their product.

I had an almost identical setup in my 02 z06. CDT Eurosports and a w7 in the spare well. I also tried swapping the w7 out w/ a pair of idq10s and then tried 4 10" round solobarics in the trunk w/ a motorized amp rack.

I was very pleased with the SQ and midbass output from the 2-way Eurosports!
