the tweeter are there for a reason and wont be relocated for cosmetic reason, when the grills are done you wont see the screws. when the thread was started my helper here posted them and could have choisen to say almost but didnt. the reason that we use big tweeters is because of their ability to play low which is very important when using a pillar tweeters with k/p mountied midrange. believe me i wish someone made a small tweeter that would play low, it would make my life easier

dwvw, i have tried that glue with decent results but didnt think that it would hold in this situation and didnt want to have to change it after the fact

Also there are two kinds of the heat activated glue. There was only the one type when I used it.

That stick style is what is called a "french braid" at least that is what my upholstery guy calls it.

That style is called baseball stitching, the style you are thinking of is baseball glove stitching. I like both.

^ See now when I search for any kind of pic of a baseball, it's stitching looks identical to that.

im not to sure why they call it baseball, i wondered the same thing myself, didnt look to much like a baseball to me, i call it baseball because he does, then there is no confusion. it seems thaere may be no industry standard as to what the right term is [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

LOL That could be very true. Is it vinyl or leather on the a-pillar?

See if there's a Vanfax out there...I used to get my helmaprine from them.
Thins and cleans up with methelyne chloride (same stuff used for bonding plexi-glass).
The trick is to let it totally dry before applying the vinyl, then use a bit of heat to reactivate the glue....up to 24 hours and it will still kick.
If not there try sales@importel.com
Shipping might be a bit tho, and it's haz-mat surcharge as well.
Costs about 100 for a pail.

i am very sure about this, i have used smaller tweeters that dont play as low in this exact config and have always had far better success with having the ability of the tweeter to play low
