[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8746931, member: 614752"] Absolutely no way to predict this in a vehicle, and really this is going to be a roll of the dice whatever you do then trail and error if you're determined to "fix" it. I've seen one guy at a SQ meetup who kept a couple sweatshirts sitting on the hump between foot wells in front to tame a bad node. Another guy solved some issues by just running one tweeter out of phase. Hope you have spare time and like tweaking! Vehicle is the absolute least friendly environment to try to build realistic soundstage. Anyway, do try to find some drivers with published response curves on and off axis. The difference can be dramatic and often speakers that are engineered to perform well 45 degrees off axis will sound harsh or "beamy" listened to straight on. If you are buying local and can walk around the room in front of a demo board you might be able to get a good idea of the difference as you angle your listening position away from the line of fire.
