Won't hurt but you'll have no high range.

[jonofro_6]

well i have got 4way 6'' in the back doors, so would that compensate the high range?.. it should still sound ok thou.??

Back to front, you want the mid and highs up front and the fill from the rear.

Why the splits without the tweeter?
Is it an installation issue or you dont have them to go with the speakers??

[jonofro_6]

well i got a VY sedan, and i want to install em without cutting anything..
dont want to wreck the interior and not sure where to mount the cross-over boxes. what ya think.. anyone dont this in a VY?

You should be able to find somewhere to hide the cross over, whether it is inside the door (behind the door trim) or up under the dash somewhere.

The tweeter you can mount under the top of the dash, there is a tweeter mounted up there from the factory anyway.

Any chance of utilising the factory tweeter with the aftermarket crossover? That way he doesnt have to go pulling the dash apart.

i dont think it has standard tweeters in there..
ill just wait and do it later when i fit all the audio in it..
thanks for all ya help guys

Suppose you could but the tweeters aren't that hard to access, and you would have to get to them to wire them in anyway, so why you'd bother is beyond me.

in my VT i put the cross overs in the bottom of the doors on the inside of the door though front and the rear they fit in there really snugg like...

[jonofro_6]

oh ok then. well im pretty sure i dont have standard tweeters, so hoarey, where did you mount your tweeters?.. got pics?
where did u screw your crossover to? the door card or the metal door itself?

[hoarey]

na i used double sided tape on the cross over and stuck it in the bottom of the door, with the tweeter i pot 1 screw in it up near th window vent on the door but i noticed that when i took the screw back out it only left a little hole the size of a pin prick or not much bigger i will get ya some pic's asap

[jonofro_6]

oh ok. sweet..
my crossovers are pretty heavy.. pics asap would be great.. can ya get some by tmw arvo?..

What sort of speakers are you talking about?
ie: what brand model etc?

I know that I watched a guy at work fitting a new set of Alpine Splits in his 4wd and he only used double sided tape for the crossovers in the inside of the doors. I asked him if that would work and he replied that thats how he had fitted them in the past and hadnt had a problem yet.

My cross overs are double sided taped to the inside of the panel on the end of my dash.
No probs with mine and when I have had to pull them apart they have been stuck solid.
