[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8684577, member: 650438"] I meant for the distance between the mid and tweet, they still need to be left and right for soundstage, and stereo seperation, you cant have them in the center like that. Your other option is to trade the 6.5 in for a 4 inch mid and fiberglass A pillars or do a sealed custom door pod for the 6.5s above the 8 bullet tweeters are not good in a car because there's lots of surfaces that reflect sound waves which causes harsh peaks and dips all over the frequency spectrum. Usually in a car you'll have a massive peak of 5khz to 8khz with super tweeters and you need a crossover gap between the mid and tweeter to tame it. For example i've tuned 5 setups and they all had the mid around 2.5khz to 4khz low passed and tweeters high passed at 8khz to 10khz. Even with a large gap, you still have full complete output in the gap with nothing missing however the harsh peaks before was tamed and the system is listenable SQ wise. Its the nature of PA drivers in cars. [/QUOTE]
