[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7590629, member: 624844"] Exactly. I just thought of something I wasn't exactly correct about..... [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif[/IMG] Some speakers actually work better off-axis because of the beaming effect. I was actually backwards in my post above. I read somewhere recently where they actually measured the sound through a narrow port at various angles and found some speakers beam a lot more head on or around 20 degrees compared to 45 or 60, lets say... [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Pods are good for speakers that like sealed enclosures, makes a big difference. I've used some poly coned speakers that work well in pods on-axis. Right now I'm running some Aura 8's in door panels at rib cage height. They are on-axis to my ears and sound great, LPF'd at 500hz using a passive xover. I just cut some MDF rings and fiberglassed them in after hot-gluing dowels to hold the rings at the correct angle. Honestly, I have about 5 hours into the whole project. [/QUOTE]
