I bought this tweeter Vifa D26NC about two month ago and it lying on my desk ever since. Recently I am quite busy. And last weekend, when I got a free time, then I prioritized to install this tweeter unit to my Honda Brio.
In this post I will share my opinion about the sound improvement after the installation.
This installation process actually doesn't take so much time. It is just removing the OEM panel, then put the new tweeter on it. The tweeter cable just solder to the mid-range speaker terminal and that's all done.
Back to the tweeter unit after installation, one thing that quite bothering me is the tweeter pod excess into the window area. Although this is not distract my view to the side mirror, but I wish it could flush with the door pillar.
I remembered the reason I bought this tweeter unit is because of the wording "this tweeter mounting has been adjusted to make the best possible angle to listener" but I think it is not completely correct. Just look the photo bellow. The tweeter position at the right side which on the driver side is blocked by the AC vent and the dashboard. I still prefer this tweeter put more higher above it.
Anyway, the tweeter position is off-axis. This is the common position and will blending better with overall sound especially from the mid-range.
The overall sound presentation after adding this tweeter is a little bit better. The high frequency more open and airy. The sound just like coming on the top of the dashboard. The nature sound of this Vifa D26NC is smooth and not too dominant which is I really like.

Total time to install it is only about 1 hour. But sometimes I like to working slow on this. I take this chance to cleaning as the internal parts such as door trim and the windows mechanism. That is why I spent total about 2 hours for this installation and cleaning.

So this is all I can share about the installation process of this tweeter unit. Overall I am happy with the result.
