The only accurate way to adjust the tweeters is to install them without grills. Then take a length of PVC pipe dowel and line it up with your face or ear. Holding the speaker in front of the opening in the fairing is difficult and not very accurate because you are guessing where you head might be. So to say what position on the clock I would only be guessing.

Actually just winged it and it seems just fine. Sure it helps to get it pointed in a good general direction but sled conditions are way too dynamic to invest too much energy on this. Just my .2c.

I had a laser designed that stuck directly to the tweeter and it tracked right into my ear holes at my 40, 50, 60 , 70 and 80 mph riding postures. Downloaded the laser feedback info and also the go pro video that was mounted on a selfy stick 4 feet above the ignition switch and overlayed those two programs to a 70 inch big screen that was placed directly adjacent to the sled. NASA engineers then made the final adjustments to the tweets.

Haha T, at 1st i was thinking you were serious! I just winged it too. I have the focals at 0 on the crossover. Turned up the treble on the music player app, and it really brought up the highs. I also have the krc's playing with almost no bass. I love riding at a volume of 30-34!
