[QUOTE="jrobie79, post: 8730908, member: 567072"] Looking for suggestions on speaker placement for 3 way active setup front stage. I attached pictures of the doors, my proposed setup is to install everything in the doors. Nearly impossible to install the mid-bass in the kick panels as they are made for really shallow 5-1/4" speakers. The stock tweeter pods are in the door sail areas (off axis driver side, less so on the passenger side), so I was thinking of installing everything in the doors. I can't get the mid-bass any lower than what is shown, because the window motor is located right there.
