[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8811122, member: 587645"] OK, Im going to speak purely from experience here. I just got my 3 way front stage installed about 6ish months ago and went through 6 different locations before I settled on my final one. [ATTACH type="full"]42837[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]42838[/ATTACH] Ignore the doors for the moment, they look completely different now. Depending on your crossover point on or off-axis will not make a huge difference, but location is a big deal. You want to go with position A if at all possible. The further away from you and the further from each other your midrange are the better. If you are like me you will be playing 300hz to about 5k through your midrange. That means they are your primary point source for vocals, melody, and most of the meat of your instruments. By having the speakers in the corners of your dash it will be alot eaiser to get a nice wide Soundstage and with tuning you can have a proper left-right balance. I went on-axis originally, but when I finalize the pods I will be doing a slightly off-axis approach. The midrange and tweeter will all be aimed at the center top of the rear window more or less. There is alot of math involved, but in order to get the same amount of on and off axis information from both left and right aiming for the "center" of the rear of the car is a good point to pick. If you are more interested in aiming and technical stuff look up Justin Jazzy's tuning guide. He goes into pretty crazy detail about his install and he even made his own EQ tool that he shares with the community. Matt [/QUOTE]
