4" Dash with components?

[meffie]

Has anyone left 4" in the dash (aftermarket of course, not stock), and run components with the tweeter in the A pillar? Do the tweeters overpower the 4"? Does it balance the sound or muddy it?

I was going to do tweeter plates in the 4" location, then thought about leaving the 4", and putting the tweeters in the A Pillars.

Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.

People have asked, but haven’t seen any. Between the airbag and defrost vent it would be a challenge.

You would have to be able to channel the tweeter separately from the 4" to achieve the separation your seeking.

Good point, although, theoretically, wouldn't the 4" tune as the amp/dsp is set too, and the components as the crossover is set?

Really not sure, never attempted to run things this way.

I've seen plenty of people running tweeters in the a pillars, so not to worried about that aspect.

As long as you can separate the mid from high through the crossover and send the high signal only to the tweeters. Then yes!

In a Bronco yet?

Yea thats the whole point of the crossover with the component system. It ensures only highs are going to the tweeters.

My current 4" are running bass blockers as well anyway, so it's primarily highs only from them

Yessir. MTI has done a few

Yes I'm aware what it does, I was pointing out if op is able to such, especially the way ford did such a crappie job with the non b&o and b&o system.

This is the last system I and my bud built for my 17 Ram 1500. I've been contemplating doing something with the Bronco. Still tossing my ideas around.

Mti has plates to do 3-1/2s and a tweeter, but if you really want to do a 4” a surface mount tweeter should be fine. Just make sure they’re timbre matched. To get the best results use an active crossover in a dsp. Really depends more on your budget I’d think. https://www.mtiacoustics.net/all-en...Speaker-Panels/p/503984168/category=127527301

Oh roger. Misunderstood what you were saying

Yea I actually already ordered their tweeter plates, before I saw them release the 3.5/tweet plates.

So then I thought well maybe I'll just leave my focal 4's in there, a pillar mount the tweeter, and rolllike that. I just wasn't sure if the sound quality with that setup would be worth it or not, as I've never attempted to run a setup like that

Not sure if you’re on fb, but saw this a few days ago. Seems pretty sweet.
