I've never been into systems before, because I can't stand those idiots that always pull up next to me with their music on full blast. Although my friend showed me his system in his truck and now I want to do something small. I'm looking into getting some tweeters. I love Bose tweeters so I might get a set of those. What do you guys think and where should I mount them in a 1999 regular cab Sierra.

 

The stock location is not the best but if you can swivel the tweets to where it points directly at the opposide driver or passenger, it's a great improvement. I have mine on the A pillars and its not the best location but it an omprove over having down there on the dorrs. I do plan on having custom fiberglass work done to my Apillars so I can place my tweet directly towords the listeners....

 

What trim level do you have? If you have the 2 piece system allready in the doors, then put them there. If not and you don't mind drilling into the a pillar covers, put them there aiming to the center of the truck.

 

GMC, as long as you want to stay at a low level/money wise then do a set of component speakers in the doors if you have two speakers in the front doors like Fast said. If you want to compete eventually for sound quality then put a set of tweeters in the a pillars like tib did. I compete in sound quality with my truck and I still need to do the a pillars with an extra set of tweeters. I have MB Quarts premium's components in the front doors, 4x6 boston plates in the rear doors(EC) and a JL8W7, all powered by a JL500.5 amp. The system sounds great and screams. The 8 is the best 8 there is in my ears as long as its the W7 series. But all goes here again, alot of money put into this system. So if you want to stay small, start with the components in the doors. If you want to beat the guys that roll up blasting then go my route, but with a bigger sub. The 8 is good for me, very suprising for an 8 too. I normally can hit 130's db wise on my 1 8" sub, which is pretty good for an 8. Any more?'s, just ask.

 

Tib, you may be able to put the tweeters down toward the bottom of the pillar and let it fire towards the window. The sound will bounce off towards the opposite people without fiberglassing the a pillars. That will be my next thing as stated above. Is there enough room down there? Haven't looked, just thought about it and talked it over with my installer.

 

I reflected my A-pillar tweets towards the windshield. Each tweeter aims at about the opposite corner at the front of the hood if that makes sense. I would have WAY too much high if I didn't do that.

Also, be careful if you have them flush mounted like tibby does and they drill a hole through the A-pillar, I have seen more than one cracked windshield from that. If you see in his pic though where the seam is in the a-pillar cover about 3" from the base, that is where mine are mounted in little pods.

 

I got a place to put some tweeters I bet you'd never think of
I'll put them in eventually and show u

 

Mudz, we posted at the same time or I would have answered your question, there is room down there, i'll snap a pic tomorrow and show you where mine are, but like I said, I would advise against a flush mount.

Pewter...in the defroster vents, or in the front of the headliner?

 

oooh oooh, I know!!! haha

 

How is this possible?
