Ford Tempo The Ford Tempo is an American-built two-door coupe and four-door sedan produced by the Ford Company from 1984 to 1994. It was the successor to the Ford Fairmont, and was replaced in 1994 by the Ford Contour.

Default Audio Help

I'm trying to install new speakers and tweeters in my 92 tempo. I have some ideas, but not sure how to go about doing it. Any advice?

Default tweeter mounting and more

So you know, I do a bit of work in the car audio buisness and have a 92 tempo as well, so I would like to help if I can.

First off, what kind of components do you have?

There isn't really a great spot to put tweeters in this car. I currently have mine just below and to the front of the factory woofer spot, behind the factory grill. It would be more ideal to cut a hole just above the factory grill and mount it there, or I'm hoping to put it where my factory rear-view mirror controls are, and move it down with the power door locks.

The woofer should go in the factory location in the door, but be careful. I installed Alpine X-type 6.5" there, and found that it prevented the window from going down completely. I then used the factory mounting plates and all was well. Several months later I removed my door panel again and found cracks in the woofers surround. With them raised up, they were rubbing against the door panel. I'm going to have to find some way to mount them outside the door panel.

Hope this helps you out a bit, be sure to post progress and any other questions.
