    at the mirror pointing at the opposite side of the car is supposed to be the best. so drivers side points at the passenger. passenger side points at you.

    How so? I don't see how making the sound go from one side of the car to the other would be the most efficient or sound best...

    This is probably what I will end up having to do though, since my sail panels aren't an option and I'm not glassing my pillars.

    Re: Tweeter placement in door panel

    Bump...

    After looking things over, this is where I want to mount the tweeter. Toward the passenger.



    However, the steering column is in the way. I don't want this to affect the passenger's listening experience...



    I don't really see any other options as far as placement goes, will this be okay?

    Re: Tweeter placement in door panel

    Damn. I don't think you have much choice, bro.

    Unless you're striving for a serious SQ install, I don't think the placement of your tweets will make or break your system. The area you indicated with the red dot, while not ideal, will work...

    Re: Tweeter placement in door panel

    I think it should be okay, but I am going to try the double sided tape trick first to be sure. I just didn't want to get my new comps in and be disappointed because of this.

    Thanks bro.

    No problem.

    Is there any way you can surface mount them on the dash and then angle them? If you can, break out a laser pointer and get to work. It might not look as cool as flush mounting them, but it should sound okay...
