Placement Opinion

Well, I always like to have everything figured so I can look at expences.

Now, the picture below is a durango. (not mine, I dont have one yet)

1) I was planning on putting pioneer rev 6 1/2" coaxials in, and I would have put them where the green circle is. Thats about the only place that would fit them up there (after measuring at a dealer).

I have a problem with putting speakers down by the stock location, because I dont like the sound, and it throws it off a little bit as far as vocals, and the left one seems to always be a little quieter then the right.

2) Then my next idea was get a component REV set instead, and mount the tweeter in the pod (blue circle in pic), and the mid in the stock location.

Which would sound best, be the best, look the best in your opinion?

I'm leaning towards a certain setup, but I just want to see what others think as well.

I have an 04 Dakota Quad with the exact same doors. The stock location works very well for 6.5" comps. It would take a good bit of work to make a 6.5 work up by your shoulder. I would vote for the stock with tweets by the rear-view mirror. That is how I have my boston z6's set up and I have an incredible front sound stage. The stock location has this plastic tube thing to bring the woof out enough to clear the window when it is rolled down. Ditch that and cut a baffle out of 3/4" mdf and surround it with plenty of clay. Deaden the doors and you will have excellent response down to 80hz.
