MK3 TWEETER INSTALL
« on: 27 December 2007, 02:19 »
Ive just got a set of comps for my mk3, I want to mount the tweeters in the original position under the grills on the dash, however when i removed the originals i realised they are alot bigger therefore the holes are bigger than the new small tweeters, has anyone had this? i was thinking of maybe making up an adaptor or something? has anyone got any ideas or suggestions?

think you kind of answered your own question - fit them in under the existing grilles with mdf/filler/blutac/jam etc

or, maybe if they are very subtle looking put them on the a pillar?

if your new tweeters come with there own housing or front surrounding frame, u cud jus have them on display...doing a bit more of a custom job....cutting away at the metal mesh in front of the original one and wedging it in from the outside-in and bond the inner part of the tweeter surround to the door or housing for the tweeter section on the door! (if that makes any sense to you??)
Why pay big bucks when you can do it yourself???

I had a fantastic sound when my Focal Comp tweeters where at the top of my A pillars, easy to install!
