[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 1591984, member: 547749"] A lot depends on your component set, a lot depends on your car's acoustics. I've traditionally been a fan of keeping the tweeter by the mid - kickpanels can be tricky though, doors aren't usually too bad... ...but ever since I started working with Focal comp sets, I don't think I've found one vehicle where I've ended up somewhere other than the A-pillar - don't know why in particular (suspect it purely has to do with the directionality of the tweeter, but it's no larger than the average tweet), but with their stuff it's the best way to go. I've had less luck on the dash, firing up (generally the issue is the instrument cluster "hump"). I've always been able to dial out any "harshness" with the crossover (but it's worth mentioning I like things to sound a little "hot" personally - I want a shreik from an old-school hair metal band to crack my glass [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG]) attenuation settings. But I have a really good "bottom line" for you, to make your OWN decision - works every time.

What that means is - don't cut any holes, make any brackets, or do anything permanent you might regret. Get the system all wired up and running - and stick a piece of doublesided foam tape on the back of the tweeter. And TRY it in your proposed locations. Spend some time with it there. Try alternatiives. When you are all done, you'll feel comfortable with your chosen location, and you can permanently run your tweeter wire down to the crossover behind your car's panels where it'll finally live OUT of sight.
