[QUOTE="phyphoestilic, post: 4494334, member: 569258"] basically stereo is when u have a left and right channel (the sounds heard from the left side are not always the same as the ones on the right side) and mono is pretty much when ur only running 1 channel the sounds comming out of 1, 2 ,3 or 20 speakers are all the same. The reason u pretty much only see tweeters on the right and left side of the car (and not the middle) is so they can make that right and left channel for a stereo sound to create imaging (which also makes it not sound like crap). The only time there should ever be a tweeter mounted in the middle is if you were running 5.1/7.1 surround sound in which case the tweeter in the middle is acting as the center channel, but that'll just confuse u. Pretty much like the other people who posted already said, mount the tweeters at the A pillars or sail panels would be the easiest choice. Most cars have stock tweeters at those locations which u might be able to replace with your aftermarket components. The midbass drivers do require a certain amount of space, it sounds like they're not getting enough, mounting them on the dash is not always a horrible idea but its not the best. I'm guessing that your lack of bass could be because they're not getting enough power, which is why i also agree with everyone in saying that you should get a amplifier, even a cheap $50-100 2 channel amplifier for the components will sound at least 10 times better then running off the headunit.
