install 5.25 mb quarts 2003 dodge ram

hey guys i'm getting ready to install some 5.25 mb quarts i bought, they came with components and stuff, i'm not sure how i should hook this stuff up.... i already have mb quart 6x9s in my doors the 5.25s go behind the seats..... where should i install the tweeters for best sound performance??? And where should i put the components? I drive a 2003 dodge ram reg cab...thanks

I just finished fabricating a fiberglass enclosure that fits under the dash of my Ram 1500 on top of  the transmission hump for a 5.25 mid and tweeter setup. I will post a pic tomorrow.

Someone did not read the post correctly, he already has Quart 6x9" speakers in the front door. Do not put the tweeters up front on the dash if they are wired into the crossover with the mid (thus 1 pair of speakers) and then in turn wired into the rear speaker wires. This is not a good idea. I'm also not a big fan of mounting component speakers on the transmission hump as it has adverse effects on soundstage. Your speakers are designed to come from the sides, not the center, no offence Gary.

Newguy, components are a combination of speakers, a pair of5" midbass drivers + a pair of tweeters + a pair of crossovers. They all come in one box. I imagine that this is what you have. Both mid and tweeter wire to the croosover. Post up the model # of the components that you have. The tweeters if installed with the mid in the back, can be mounted above the woofer with the supplied surface mounts or cut into the panel with the supplied flush mount. Do not mount then too high as the will blast your left ear really bad, instead try to keep them down lower if possible. A Quart titanium tweeter has really good off axis response, I would mount them loose with double sided tape to listen to them in different positions. If the tweeters are too bright, look at the crossover to see if it has a tweeter attenuation circuit, this when adjusted will make the tweeters a little quieter.

thanks for the help guys yall are badass

i have MB Quarts RSC 213 5.25 components and DKC 169 6x9s in the doors

Rob,

I thought about placement and decided to go 6.5 mid bass in the doors. Any thoughts?? No offense taken, I appreciate your expertise. Can I e-mail you a pic for you to take a look at?

Gary

Thanks for your reply Rob, that was my plan foir the doors. On the Ram, there are factory locations for tweeters in the pillars so I will utilize those.

I have another question about a sub. I have a standard cab Ram 1500 where I'll be running a single 12" Shiva driver. Would it be better to locate it in the corner of the cab firing at an angle, or in the center firing forward?

Thanks,

Gary
