TWEETER MOUNTING
For the best imaging and soundstage, the tweeter should be placed as close as
possible to the midrange driver. This process will help when the fi nal tuning is
completed. When positioning the tweeter for the best imaging, aim the passenger
side tweeter toward where the driver’s head will be. The same process should also
be completed on the driver’s side tweeter but this time you’ll aim the tweeter toward
where the passenger’s head will be. Positioning the tweeters in this manner will help
to set up a very solid soundstage. MID RANGE MOUNTING
To get the best possible music reproduction, it is important to isolate the sound that
is produced from the rear of the speaker from the sound that is produced from the
front of the speaker. To isolate the front from the back wave, make sure the speaker is
mounted in a baffl e or plate, so that the back of the speaker is in a sealed chamber.
