Speaker Setup

Before any actual mods can begin, the speakers should be imaged. This is a lengthy process that involves listening tests and aiming the speakers, but with a couple of shortcuts, the results can be pretty amazing. One of the best tricks for quick imaging is to aim the driver’s-side midrange at the passenger’s left ear and the passenger’s-side speaker, at the driver’s right ear. This will create a cross point in the center of the vehicle, equalizing the path lengths as much as possible without relocating the speakers. If you’re using components, try aiming the tweeter at the rearview mirror or a centered point 3-4′ in front of the passenger’s head. This creates a separation that allows both waves to hit the listener’s ears at nearly the same time.
