[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8185001, member: 560148"] I would argue due to the inherent amount of reflected sound in a vehicle vs the direct sound even when "on axis" there really is no such thing as "on axis" in a vehicle, at least as we'd apply it to large room or outdoor venue. I'd also say that's more true than your statement of "no tweeter does VERY well off axis" (see most horn designs) You can't apply what works in a listening room to a vehicle in every case or tweets in kickpanels, crossfired, etc wouldn't be useable arrangements and they often are. The ratio of reflected to direct sound no matter where you place your tweets means you really have to try it and see, so to say that you HAVE to point them on axis for SQ is a fallacy. Especially if your talking about "listeners" as in your post.. Listeners means 2 seats and that means you'll have to be "off axis" for someone. Polar response is very important in car installs for this very reason, along with the ratio of direct to reflected sound as I've mentioned several times lol. [/QUOTE]
