[QUOTE="hispls, post: 6884919, member: 614752"] Mounting components in kicks is great for imaging and minimizing phase and delay issues, but usually at the expense of some low extension as opposed to mounting in well deadened doors. Tweet in the A pillar can be a bit un-natural unless it's crossed over very high IMO. If you mount in kicks try to aim both speakers at the dome light (or that general area...center of the roof). It may also depend on the components too. All speakers behave somewhat differently off and on-axis (on-axis is listening to them pointed straight at you, off-axis is listening at some angle typically 20-40 degrees off from straight on). If you can find that data you might better predict how they'll do and how much you'll gain pointing them straight at you (kickpanels). Most GOOD car specific drivers are designed to perform well off-axis since that's typically what you get with dropping into factory holes. More ideally if you can temp them up and just tape them or set them in or around the area you're considering and do some listening before you get into a big build project you'll know more what to expect before you do anything permanent.
