^an outstanding bang for the buck set as long as you're not looking for a ton of midbass.
konechiwa, I guess we agree to disagree. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif To each their own I guess. I just favor my tweeter next to the woofer. It's just a lot easier to work with and get a coherent presence. The only real downsides are stage height. You could argue physical obstructions(people's legs, center console, dash, etc) and any associated refleactions, but the woofer sort of shares the same fate. The only time I'd run my tweeters up high again is if it was in a 3-way running a strong 3" or 4" mid up high with it.
A lot of this does come down to the car and its dimentions and speaker placement. For my car, a Subaru Forester, the sailpane is good for pairing with the woofer along the same vertical axis to produce the same stage width, however, in a passive set, the distances were still quite different from the woofers which created a syncing issue. I could throw them in the corners of the dash and match distance but stage width narrowed for the highs. Sailpanes and TA work well, however, I never really liked the difference in height of the stage. Without a good bit of glassing, I really can't aim my woofers at all, so I'm stuck on that end too. It wasn't a bad setup and is something I could live with. Moving the tweeters down by the woofers just yields the best result for my car and setup restrictions. Till I get to glassing in speaker pods, if I ever endevour into that realm, I'm not really going to get aroudn it. If I drove a different car, tweeters up high might be favorable.
A woofer can dominate the stage presence too. It just depends on time alignment and how large a frequency range you're outputing. It's just that in more normal setups, the tweeter tends to be the closer driver of the two, and without time alignment to push it back from the forefront, it will usually come across as dominate for staging.
