Tweeter Cover 3D Modeling

Crypto2k · 09-17-2020, 10:07 AM

Anyone out there good with 3D modeling and want to take on a project for the community? There are a ton of posts here about where to mount new tweeters to get them facing the cabin. With the growing prevalence of 3D printing it would be great if we had a few models to build from, such as the stock tweeter cover and the sail panel. I did some looking and the only 370 tweeter related model I could find was a mounting panel for inside the stock location. I have a printer but I'm pretty new to modeling so thought I'd check here to see if there was any interest or if anyone had a scanner that could make this process easier.

Thanks all!

Do you know where you want them and just need it modeled, or are you looking for suggestions on where to place them also?

Actually I'm just looking for the model to be created as it is stock, an oem panel replacement panel I can print. Then everyone can customize it and build the pods on/into it to suit their own needs, size, direction, etc. Bonus if the existing panel retainer clips/bolts are all still reusable.

Surprised there are no takers on this. Almost 450 views so there seems to be interest at least. The speaker cover is super easy to pop off if anyone has a scanner at work.

Most people buy a 370Z for the handling/performance and prefer the sound of a nice exhaust system over music. Ie, they'll buy HFCs before tweeters.

Plus, the small interior of the 370Z does not lend itself to true hifi sound.
YMMV

While I agree overall, we are in a dedicated audio section here with a whole lot of posts, so people are doing audio mods too. I'm not looking for hifi, just to reposition the tweeter to be more cab facing given the competing sounds you mentioned.

I have the exhaust mods but also a ton of sound deadener, so I like a balance in between. Can't we have it all?
