[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7803592, member: 576029"] it's not that tweeters are subjective as much as they are heavily install dependent. on- vs off-axis has much more to do with the rest of the installation - the vehicle, the woofer locations/aiming/response, the tweeter location, the availability of processing (level and T/A), etc. start by sharing pics of the inside of your vehicle. we need to see the dash/apillar area in relation to the seating. do you want a one-seat T/A car or a two-seat car (with or without T/A)? we localize high frequencies based on level. so when you point them at you, you'll localize to the closest one unless you attenuate it (with crossover settings or amplifier settings). this is one of the major reasons mfr's put tweeter level adjustment. to account for on- vs. off-axis and the necessary attenuation desired to get a soundstage. consider these things, post pics, and we'll go from there. ideally, using velcro and testing locations helps if you know what to listen for. when in doubt, slightly off-axis, aimed at the opposite passenger is a nice starting point.
