Ive seen many posts people asking about speaker mount options.
I wanted to simply share something i did to mount the tweeters to my car, 3D printed, no need for drilling :) pretty happy with the results.
If anyone is interested let me know!

They look really tidy. Are the double sided tape to the pillar?

What is the need for these speakers? I got some with some pioneer speakers and never had them fitted. Should I??

Standard/common car speakers have the tweeter (what these are) mounted in the one assembly. The tweeter produces the high frequency sounds. The higher the frequency, the more directional it is. For example, subwoofer frequencies (under say 100hz) aren't sensitive to their position. The problem is that when tweeters are in the mid range driver like most car speakers, the high frequencies are rarely pointed at the listener's ears.

 

Subs handle frequencies in the 0-100s range, mid drivers take over until somewhere in the 1000s range. Tweeters then produce up to the 20-40khz range. If the wrong driver is sent the wrong frequencies, it can cause damage. A crossover is fitted to split the frequencies to each driver, the most basic ones consist of a capacitor.

 

In car audio terms, speakers with separate tweeters are called "component" speakers.

 

If you have component speakers fitted without the tweeters, they will sound rubbish. Especially if the crossover is still fitted. The crossover is what splits the different frequencies to each driver.
