How to install a tweeter (tweeter) in the car?

A tweeter is a speaker for playing high frequencies in a car. Its quality depends on the angle at which it is directed to the listener. In this article, we'll figure out how to properly install this mechanism and get a high-quality sound.

Installation of the tweeter provides for the selection of the optimal angle for your particular salon and the constant struggle with reflections. From the correctness of this process depends the sound quality.

We recommend installing this item on the front pillar. But then take into account that there is a windshield next to it, as well as a door window that creates all conditions for the reflection of standing waves. So, how can you prevent the formation of standing waves and how to choose the ideal angle?

Mounting angle of tweeter

To begin with, consider the following schemes:

As you can see, the direct axis of the two tweeters (they are represented by a dotted line) converge exactly in the middle between the two seats and strictly at the level of the ears. In this case, the sound from each side will be the same, only minimal errors are possible. The optimal angle is 45 degrees.

And if the angle is the same, then the possible violations will also be identical. If you set the tweeter at the suggested angle, then each end of the frequency range will be closest to the listener.

How to choose the optimal angle when installing a tweeter?

Consider the scheme:

The straight axis of the tweeter is horizontally oriented and is at the level of the listener's mouth. If we turn the tweeter up or set it a little higher and turn it down, we can damage the integration of HF, MF and LF.

When the tweeter is set at the level of the listener's mouth, then it and the mid-woofer can be aligned along one line. And this will improve their interaction.

Helpful Hint: Install the tweeter so that there are no reflective parts within a 5 cm radius. This will reduce the likelihood of standing waves.

The correct sound of the tweeter: how to get it?

We need a test drive to fully test the speaker system. For example, "Audio Doctor", where special tracks are provided for this. We fix the tweeter on the front rack and start.

Turn on the special track and determine the height: move the tweeter up or down to get the best sound. However, take into account that if you raise too high, there will be disagreements between the frequencies, and if it's too low, then the volume of the sound will be worse.
