lets me just say in my " opinion " it is to low and to far back your front staging. Like I was saying your ears can distinguish how high or low a tweeter is placed in a car very quickly and it would not sound right.
i hope that makes since huggy bear try it with cell phone ringing you can totally her the diff

wow man thank you for the complement!! for sure and right back at you and yours !! I am thinking about putting in a second set of 6 1/2 today (building pods for the kick panels)
just to get a touch more mids in the car I am getting so close to just being done. last week I put in the new Kicker IX500.4 amp for the mids and highs the focal amp just could not keep up

Definitely try it out, try out as many different locations and aiming setups as possible before you decide on one. I just wish you could listen to an accurate setup beforehand so you would have a better idea of what to shoot for.

That pic of my tweeters is actually my old Rainbow DreamLine tweets I had in there when I was running those comps. They were flush mounted, aimed at the other door panel, definitely not ideal! New setup is pictured below, with the tweeters angle mounted towards the opposite passenger.

But you have to consider the fact that he's running passive xovers as well, it's not a one size fits all kind of thing. If raising the soundstage is more important than dramatically reducing diffraction of high frequencies, proper time alginment, the two drivers being in phase with each other and more accurate imaging, then by all means he should put them in the pillars. But in my opinion, the cons far outweigh the pros in this scenario. Come on Keith, you really think running a set of comps passively with the tweets in the pillars blasting off the windshield sounds better and more accurate than putting them in the stock locations and calling it a day?
Say it ain't so!
so it is not so !!![Big Grin](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
LOL i think that is a great location to install that is why i found him (trewyn15) the pic of your door so he could see but the map pockett not so much... i hope this clears up the confusion for everyone
