Help please! Does anyone make a bracket for the dashboard to install aftermarket tweeter?

welcome! sorry, no idea. have you checked with some car audio shops? all the best!

 

Crutch field has installation instructions. On mobile or I'd get a photo of it.

Trust me it's on their website under installation guides.

 

There's a sticky thread here showing the dash speaker replacement. There isn't much room up there. The plastic is very soft and it's easy to punch a hole for SMALL replacement tweeters (I've done that), but space is very limited and tight. I snapped some pics when I installed mine; these should give you an idea of what's possible. If your separate tweeter is the size of the speaker I've added, it'll fit. But a door panel install is easier.

In the rear doors, there's already a cut out for component speakers, with separate tweeter. Firstly, it's good that you're installing a 6x9, it provides great bass. There are a few ways to install component tweeters but I would put them in the doors. They need very little clearance and I think you should just cut off the dash "squawkers" (leave them in the dash with no sound going to them) and put your tweeters in the doors.

 

Rebound: Can you post a photo of your finished dash installation?

 

A photo isn't needed; the finished install of that speaker looks 100% stock.

If you look through the grill, you can see that the speaker looks a little different, of course, but it still looks stock.

Also, I had to remove some material from the stock grill to make the grill fit. I hated this install and I think it's more sensible to cut off these dash squeakers and install speakers in the doors. The ideal ones would be component 6x9 speakers. You can install a 6x9 or a 6" round in the front door and I think the 6x9 is definitely the way to go; there's much better bass with them. Mine are 2-way JBL's. Only problem with them is that their impedance is a little odd. They sound just fine but I might have trouble if I run an amp to these and the rear door speakers.

 

I put these in my car today and they fit right in and sound pretty good.

 

That's a 2 3/4" speaker and I was able to fit a 3 1/2" speaker in the dash with a little cutting but no externally-visible appearance change. I don't think you can easily get more than 3 1/2" in that opening.

 

I just installed a pair of Kicker (2way) 3.5" today. Next week I will clean up the trimming and install a 800hz filter.
Next week also installing upfront Kicker 6x9 Comp set (Minus the tweeter), 6.5 (2way) in rear, taking the tweeter from the comp set and moving the highs to factory location (if I had JBL).

Dash speakers will be powered off HU, door speaker 45w rms ea.

 

Wouldnt the high pass be on the positive side (Black wire)?

 

How about some pictures?

 

Will soon, I haven't installed the door speakers yet. Just the dash, i need to clean up the trimmings before pics. We had T-storms Sat and Sun this pass week.

 

Pictures of the work in progress are best. Otherwise, nothing much to see

 

I installed a set of Alpine 6 1/2 components. I used the old speaker and ripped out the cone and put the Alpine tweeter into the body of the oem speaker

I used the factory replacements from Focal. They were amazing.
