HI, I am going to change out everything from head unit to speakers. I would like to know where other C5 owners installed the tweeters and the 3.5" mids. I have seen the 2 mids together with the tweeter, is that the best setup. Let me know where you have put them and how they sounded. Also I have two amps to run, one 4 channel and one 5 channel. Should I run them active or just use the crossovers? Thanks
So many..."it depends" answers here man. 9 channels is a lot. How many speakers/subs are you trying to run? How much experience installing do you have? How knowledgeable of tuning crossovers, slope, and polarity are you/ Are you planning on running a DSP? Installing capacitors on the tweeters? Tweets in a C5 are in the door. To run a full 3-way you'll need to make tweeter pods (or buy some) for your specific tweets...and have speaker adaptors for your factory speakers. Answer these questions, and we can better assist.
Ran Alpine's SPX system in my 97, then in my 02. Built a custom MDF/ Fiberglas mount for the 6.5" and 4" drivers in the door. The 4" had a sealed enclosure. Originally, these were driven off a single channel and Alpine's passive SPX MB crossover. Tweeters were re-loated to custom-molded pods in the A-pillars. Later when I installed the system in my 02, I switched to an RUX C701 active crossover. and each speaker got it's own channel (I deleted the rear speakers entirely)
