Ordered!
Tuesday, March 01, 2005 8:29 PM
Just ordered the final product for my sounds system (i hope)....I just ordered a pair of Infinity Reference Series 6.5" Component Speakers, these will give me even better highs than I have now, and will really round out my system. I also ordered speaker baffles for them and my 6x9's too. I will also be redoing the wiring in my car, by getting all new Monster Cable RF Wires, and Crimpless Connectors, and I will be cleaning up my wiring harness for my head unit. Does anyone know of a good place to put the tweeter for my components?

dont waste your time with connectors , crimp or no crimp. Nothing will ever beat someone who is handy with a sodering iron and uses heatshrink.

Sammy, put your tweeter no further than 6 inches from your 6 1/2 inch.

I solder all my connections, but I can't exactly solder the wire directly to my amp

Thx for the input Lanman, may I ask why 6" and if u have any other tips I would greatly appreciate them, this is my first time installing components

I've always thought that no more than 4" was ideal. Otherwise a whole crapload of other factors have to be considered.

the reason is you try to keep tweeters as close as possible to the rest of the driver in order to maintain correct phases between the sound frequencies that are played by both drivers where the crossover points exist.

I see, that makes sense now that I think about it

I agree although i had some friend who believed that sodering and heatshrink was a waste of time, and damages the wires and product.

I agree that soldering it the best way to go, but I am not going to solder wires directly to my amp, I solder wires directly to the speakers, but not the amp....it just ain't happening.

I don't think anyone sane would solder onto the amp. Besides, would it even work? I would think the solder just balls up.

^^^^^^^ true, I was jsut saying that, the reason why I have the crimpless connectors for my power and ground wires is because I don't wanna solder the wires. I soldered the wires to my wire terminals, I have taken all the necessary steps to get the best signal I can....at least I think. The only thing left to do for me is to get new RCA Cables.
