Want to do a custom tweeter install need another set of a pillars anyone know where I can get my hands on them? Also a part number for them?

best bet would be ebay, junkyards, or someone parting out their car on here... If you check out Sparks TRD's site, I think there is a section to find OEM parts... Hope that helps...

I think that's it... The also have the option for the pillar w/o airbag...

i just need the plastic cover part though is that really the price for just the plastic? I think that is the whole pillar.

If it's coming from the dealership, I am willing to bet that is it...

ok i did a little research and I think I may be looking for the "A" pillar garnish. Im trying to find the part number for these pieces. I called some salvage yards out of 8 one yard had it but only wanted to sell a full interior not that piece.

Can't tell for sure, but that other link looks to be the ones with air bags? Trying to find the same thing, but so it doesn't state "W/head air bag", I found this;

$10 each sounds better, eh? Just give them a call, tell them what you want and they'll give you a quote, then you'll know the exact price and can be assured of getting the right part.

it's easier to put tweeters in the kick panels.

jesterscourt

yeah I know but I think that for optimum sound, placing them at ear level is where they should be. Also I hate the way they look in the kick panels.

Tcguy85

i don't think the mids and the tweeters being 18+ inches apart is good for optimum sound either. i have mine in the kicks and love it.

jesterscourt

well I personally dont see why that would affect anything having that far apart. I have had this setup in other vehicles b4 and it sounded great. Besides the kick panels are not that much closer than where i will be putting them.

If you're going to place the mid and tweeter far apart, it's often a good idea to experiment with crossover slopes. Steeper slopes are generally better when the drivers are located as close as possible to each other, but in this scenario people often find the integration between drivers is much better when using simple 1st order (6dB/Oct) filters. In such a situation it's good to have mids whose response doesn't break up at higher frequencies, and tweeters with a low fs, such that they can handle lower frequencies.

There are trade-offs to everything, and everything you do in regard to placement/location will have an effect on the sound. Temp mount the tweeters to the A-pillars in the location you're considering, and listen to the complete system. This will enable you to determine how they should be angled (where they should be pointed), in order for you to decide where you feel they sound best (your opinion matters, not mine or anyone elses, because it's your system). Now you might be pleased, or you could find that you don't care for it, so then you could move them to the kick panels for a listen to see if that's an improvement.

The thing is, you need to take the time to do some quick & easy testing before deciding on a plan and implementing it. I'd hate to see you go through all the time, trouble & expense of modding either the pillars or kicks, only to be disappointed with the results.
