depends on how many preamp inputs on your head unit. im a complete noob, will be adding tweeters to my apillars later this week, trying to find a good guide on how to cut holes allowing them to be angled at the best direction. good luck with it rug.

 

Don't mount your tweeters like this. they will stick out a ton and look extremely tacky. There will be NO difference from putting speakers in the door panel or putting them on a pillar with what he is going to use in him application. If you are going for a sound quality competition then yeah you should probably rethink using an s2000 all together.

Flush the tweeters in the door panel. The 2000's have the same open area behind the door panel that the news years do with the factory tweeter pods. Try not to get a HUGE tweeter or you might run into clearance problems between the door skin and the door panel.

 

yea, im not looking for any kind of compition sound. Just want more sound really.

as for cutting the panels or pillars i dont want to ruin my OEM virgin interior. id rather pick up a 2nd set of panels or pillars.

what size tweets are the stock ones

 

thats why most people recomend the pillars because theyre dirt cheap. especially compared to the door panels which arnt at all!

 

The only other thing that will suck if you mount the tweets on the pillar is wiring. If you go with a component set of speakers then you'll have to put your crossovers inside the car and most likely in the kick plates. Don't know if you have ever been under that dash but it sucks. Just food for thought.

 

ive been under the dash in my old civic and teg but never in the S
is it bad?

 

i tried removing the dash yesterday for another project, gave up after a few hours. had the steering column out, the wiring is just too difficult without the service manual. idk wtf ill do, type rs should be comming in later this week so ill be test fitting the crossovers where i can.

 

Yeah upper dash is a pain in the ass. And since the lower dash, where your knees hit, doesn't come out at all it makes working under all of that a nightmare.

 

ugh
wth

 

I have good tweeters mounted in the factory ('02) position on the doors and don't have any complaints about imaging. Yeah, it's slightly lower (vertically) than I would like but if set up properly it sounds fantastic.
