[QUOTE="gstokes, post: 8370038, member: 660947"] You are correct, the distance from speaker to ear is more equal with tweeters in the kick panel but they are still aimed at the listener, it is matter of preference.. I don't mount speakers in the kick panel simply because they are more prone to suffer physical damage from spilled drinks and whatnot, at least in my van.. I believe cars are a more likely candidate for tweeters in the kick panel then a van or truck and that is the reason i put my tweeters on the dash in both corners. At the time it was ideal location for my tweeters but there is short distance from left tweeter to ear and great distance from right tweeter to ear but i am able to balance the sound however there is substantial off-axial response from right tweeter, like you i would prefer a more equalized location such as kick panels but it is what it is.. If it's any consolation the midbass are mounted in the doors and i am not happy with their location, perhaps they will find a new home in the kick panels one day.. We are in total agreement..
