SPEAKER PLACEMENT 
CONSiDERATiONS:

A component system gives you the ability to place 

the woofer and tweeter separately in your vehicle 
interior. This can be good or bad, depending on how 
it’s done. As a general rule, the tweeters should be 
placed relatively close to the woofers for best tonal 
balance and most coherent imaging (the closer, the 
better). Any separation greater than 8 inches (20 cm) 
is likely to result in degraded sound quality. 

Avoid placing tweeters where they will be blocked 

by objects in the interior of the car (including seated 
occupants). When selecting a mounting location, 
look at both sides of the car to make sure that this 
location is clear on both sides. 

You can always experiment with tweeter 

placement before committing to a final mounting 
location. Simply connect the rest of the system 
and allow plenty of wire length for the tweeters. 
Using Velcro

®

 or similar material, attach the 

tweeters in different locations until you find the 
one where they perform best.

Woofers will usually be placed into factory 

speaker locations. If you have some woofer 
mounting flexibility, keep the following in mind: 
Lower mounting locations, such as the lower 
front corner of a door or a kick-panel provide 
the greatest path length distances for the sound 
emitted by the woofer. For this reason, they are 
generally more desirable than higher mounting 
locations. Higher mounting locations often result 
in extreme near-side soundstage bias which 
compromises the stereo listening experience.
