i noticed something weird about my speaker placement

So, if I was to make a mount for my tweeter right over the center of the mid, would that be a good thing ?

CDT makes a mount like it but I was thinking dead center.

james you should coax mount ur horns to ur mids i think that'll give u the best sound.

Altec already tried that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

They actually sound pretty good, when bi-amped //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

IIRC, Ive seen any even older version of the same idea.

How are you helping?
I prefer my tweeters by my mids because they do blend easier. With it closer comb filtering is less likely and it eliminates two distant point sources coming from different directions.

I don't understand when people choose completely different locations for the mid and tweeter. If you have the tweeter in the corner of your dash and mid in the door your stage width and depth will be different for each source. When they're close the width and depth line up better.

My car came with factory tweeter on the pillar up by the dash..are you saying thats not the best position for the tweeter?

I have a foam mattress. no matter what side I wake up on, it's good stuff. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
I wonder how would that saying would go for someone that sleeps on the floor or couch.

Or for someone who can only wake up on one side of the bed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Define 'best'. If we were building the car around the stereo, no, that's not ideal, and would be avoided. But reality is the stereo was built around the car, so sometimes a compromise in pure acoustic theory actually works out better for the situation.
Look at it another way. We *might* pick up on the cues that the tweeter and mids are located too far apart, if we are trained and experienced with such situations. But, even a noob can tell if the soundstage is at his knees.
