[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8288462, member: 628688"] You might be disappointed if you expect similar sound in the car as compared to your favorite home speakers. Yes, car speakers have characteristics that do not change, which is why there is an argument for comparing speakers in a showroom soundboard. However, once you put those speakers into a car the response changes dramatically. Tweeters may need to be aimed more or less toward or away from your ears to make them less offensive to your ears. I would like to make suggestions for you but I have no idea what ADS L690s and L1290s sound like. It looks like you already have the tweeter location decided. Have you considered the size of the mounting cup for the tweeter? A 1" tweeter may have a flush cup cutout diameter of 1.5" or more, in addition to further clearance around the perimeter of the cup.
