No plastic on my A-pillars. I got a real JeepThere are a lot of mentions of using pods for tweeters mounted either above the side vents or on the plastic moldings on the a-pillar.
I did find this post with tweeters surface mounted into the dash itself, but I didn't find many opinions on this method.
I like the idea of surface mounted tweeters. I don’t have a sound bar, so the sound is mostly coming up from my knees. Surface mounted tweeters would place the sound in front where it is most natural. However, I’m more interested in a mid/tweeter that can handle frequencies below the sound of a piccolo, penny whistle, dog whistle, Maynard Ferguson, reed chirps from Stan Getz, Queen of the Night Aria from die Zauberflöte, etc. Most options for mid/tweeter include a large pod that squishes into the corner of the dash and A-pillar, which is to much in my face and makes my Jeep a target for someone’s drug habit.
Most importantly, someone remind me I’m headed down a rabbit hole trying to get clean audio out of my Jeep and I’m better off using my EarPod Pros for good audio. Only problem with that is going down the road at 55 mph only to discover I’m still in 3rd gear!
