Do whatever you want with your $3 tweeters... :rolleyes:

In fact, I can tell you an even better spot for them then in those pillars!!

Why are you calling me a jerkass? I made no negative comments towards you at all. I am offering people another solution other than just driving over to Future Shop and buying a preassembled set of components. Explain why the idea of $3 tweeters sounding good angers you. When some companies do bulk buyouts on old product, or make a change to a new one they often drop the price to get the inventory out of thier hair. It's a fairly common practice. Also, after the R&D cost of develloping a speaker is covered, building tweeters costs very little. What do you really think the difference in material cost of a $380 tweeter and a $3 tweeter is? The magnets are often the same material, the motor structure is similar, the wiring is still copper, all that really differs is a logo and usually a much better looking casing and grille. Yes there is a diffference between the two, but rarely $377 dollars worth.

And please, enlighten me as to where I should put the tweeters other than the pillars. I've had them in the doors, on a bracket in front of the mid, in the kickpanels, and so far this has been the best location I've found. Many champion SQ cars use this location.

I'm guessing you were going to tell me to shove them up my ass or put them in the garbage. That's fine though, it will just allow me to completely disregard your opinions and ideas in the future.
