[QUOTE="Here-I-Come, post: 4691287, member: 572320"] Ok my friend, here we go: First your location can work fine. If you look at a lot of the cars from across the pond, they use dash mount midranges all the time, in competition none the less. Also top in mounted high in the dash or a-pillars has grown in use here in the states also. If you are not planing to compete you will be fine. A lot of people worry about reflection, but if used right that are not all bad. Mount high in the dash will keep your soundstage high. And honsetly most people don't know what reflective sound sounds like, they have just read somewhere that it is a bad thing, but in the car reflection is a part of life and is no way around it unless you are ready to do a complete rebuild of your cars interior and even then its not completly done away with. I see you have a the Pioneer 880. Now with the 880 you can do a 3 active front stage if you have to right amps: 1. 3 way active. Use the highpass (lets says 4 khz) and send that to your tweeter amp Then use the bandpass(lets say 70hz-4khz. Don't remember the lowest piont on the 880), but Y the signal and send it to your Midrange and Midbass amp. Here is where the amp comes in to play. The amp will need to cross that can high pass the midranges around 250khz or above and then do a lowpass on the midbasses amp @ 250khz. And the lowpass the your sub amp. All active. I done this in a few cars, and its works great. 2. I need to look at the lowest point of the highpass crossover of the 880 to see if you could do active/passive 3-way front. I do not remember been a few months since I have used one. Thats passive midrange and tweeter and active midbass, and sub. [/QUOTE]
