My adventures in F6B Audio Upgrade

[BruceN]

You need to share some details and pics.

My tweeters are the Polk Audio ones that came with the MM series component speaker set. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...io-MM6501.html
I have them surface mounted over the same spot that the factory tweeters used to be. I was on the fence which way I wanted to go, but chose to surface mount them allowing me to have a little more flexibility in aiming the tweeters. The surface mounting allows them to swivel a little bit in their mounting cups.

Someone else chose to un-case the tweeters and mounted the tweeters in the factory location. So yes it can be done that way.

As someone once said, it didn't happen if there were no pictures (or something like that)

8" Fosgate Punch, Focal Amp, J&M mid range speakers and Polk tweeters. Happy with this for the moment, the sound is pretty darn good.

I know this is an older thread, but just wanted to say thanks to Jimmytee! I Just finished my install with NVX 4 channel amp, infinity Kappa 6.5 speakers, and J&L 6.5 sub. Very pleased with results and this thread made install a “breeze”!

Jimmie,
Are you now running Hertz HSK Component Speakers?

Thanks

Jim

[Jimmytee]

Yes, I am running the Hertz HSK component speakers in the stock locations and Herts HMX 6.5s in custom speaker pods I made.

Did you get the tweeters to fit in the stock tweeter hole in the shelter?

[Jimmytee]

The I have mine surface mounted over the original tweeter location. That is how I originally had the Polk Tweeters and I just did the same thing with the Hertz. I think the tweeters could go into the stock tweeter location, but would require you to remove the tweeters from their casing or housing without damging them . It's been done, I just didn't do it that way. Here is a shot. Yeah lots' of dust/dirt in this shot.

I mounted the tweeters in the stock holes. Yes, you have to remove the grill from the tweeter very carefully.

Glad to provide everything I have on butchering the housing and other intricacies.

And another handful of Andrew Jackson's for Dynamat, gold plated connections, quality speaker wire and spacers.
