Tweeter upgrade?

[hotaccord243]

So since I know a lot about motors but don't know diddly squat about Car Audio,

I have incredibly easy access (haha) to the tweeters, wiring and everything, I was thinking of upgrading the tweeters but I have a couple of questions.

Currently I have a Pioneer AVIC-F900/700BT H/U, a 450x4 Rockford amp powering some upgraded Alpine type R (free btw) 6x9's and 6.5's.


The questions are
1) Is it really worth it?
2) What size will fit OEM location (don't want to mold in to other locations)?
3) Wiring.
-How exactly would you bypass the OEM harness?
-Does it plug into the amp directly or where?
-Crossovers, if they are included do they just tie into the front speaker
wires, and the crossovers take over filtering out the highs?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

just keep oem they are good enough.

unless you can find some from a 00 - 04 odyssey, because they can play louder.

So, for someone that is not incredibly into car audio fully, understand the basics, knows how to wire everything etc.

It's not worth the $50-$200 to buy some decent tweeters/crossovers, cause for the money you won't necessarily hear the difference? The money isn't worth it?

I mean is better to put that money into a sub/amp combo etc?

 

[LX_F23A1]

correct.

because tweeters well all they do is play the super high portion of treble

alright, i'll save my money for other things, ha

Thanks for the response!

You could always do Type-R Components as opposed to coaxials, which i assume you have now. Components are a separate matched pair of, in your case, 6.5 door speakers, 1" (normally) tweeter, and crossovers.

Plus, the Type-R's sounds sweet!!

the stock locations are horrible with small speakers due to the reflection off the windshield.

there are component sets out there that can be mounted coaxially but still have the advantages of a component set.

 

[LX_F23A1]

yea more likely listen to ryan he knows his **** really damn well

 

[hotaccord243]

Hmmm

that makes sense, and i know those are horrible locations for those speakers....

The 6.5's are component speakers, so the tweeters are in there. So i'm guessing it's not really worth it to buy separate tweeters due to the fact that I don't really want to mount them anywhere else. (Not cause i'm lazy, but don't necessarily into car audio enough to start doing that and add yet another thing to my To Do list.... ha)
