[QUOTE="SkizeR, post: 8718952, member: 633600"] No, you cannot "create" elevation and distance. Its ALL depending and limited by the speaker and its location, and the reflections. getting the stage high is easy. At minimum you need higher frequencies up top and they just need to be in phase with the lower frequency drivers. Width is the next easiest to simulate due to reflections. But depth is almost impossible. You hear people say "that car stages out on the hood" or something similar to that. I've yet to hear a car that actually sounds like the center image, or any other part of the sound stage for that matter, actually sound like they're coming from past the windshield without lying to myself. So long story short, install your speakers in good locations in a way that doesnt cause issues (rattles, bad comb filtering, etc), and tune them appropriately, then enjoy your center image in the center of the car with a proportionately spaced soundstage.
