New Tweeter install in Pillar
just picked up my car from Rockstar Desgins in the houston area from getting my new pillars made to fit many tweeters, thats why i picked these because if i change the components i do not have to get new pillars made. i have to say the craftsmanship is top notch and it sounds is even better.. i can actually hear my stereo over the cam/longtubes/stingers
thanks again Rocky for the great install
speakers are the new Alpine SPX-17PRO

my tweeters are 1.25 in diameter and 13/16" depth... so they are pretty big as far as most simlar component sets go...
Radioflyer, these speakers have great quailty they just do not play as loud as i would like and i have trouble hearing them on the freeway with the windows down over the exhaust
other then that they are great

I contacted Rocky. He does sell these mail order. He said $300 per set. I am considering a set, but would like comments regarding the sound staging/imaging that it appears that they will provide? Will the placement provide a definitive advantage to mounting them on the door speaker plate?
Thanks!

Mounting the tweeters in the A pillars brings the staging up to eye level and allows both left and right channels a clear line of sight to your ear. Depending on the off axis response of the tweeters and the tuning of the system, you can further enhance staging.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I purchased the Seas 27TFFNC/G awhile ago (active cross-over set-up). I've been watching to see if there was a better alternative to cutting up my A-pillar for a custom mount...Looks like this may fit the bill...It would best (if I am correct) to have them level with the eyes, however this set-up looks it's a bit lower than that. Still better than in the doors, I am sure...
