[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8833313, member: 614752"] Get some sticky tape or something so that you can temporarily mount them in either spot to test. You're on the right track here thinking logically about the pros and cons either way. Understand, if you were installing this in some bookshelf or tower speakers in a listening room in your home you would be looking to make an equilateral triangle with you, left, and right speakers at the vertices and equal distance between the VOICE COILS of mids and highs and your ears. This would be optimum but we obviously cannot do this in a car (inb4 "back seat driver" SQ car 30 years ago) so you sort of have to pick the next best thing and solve whatever issues you have with DSP/time delay, running one tweeter out of phase, or similar tricks. I have also had great success with on-axis in kicks but this may be impractical and some speakers aren't even designed to sound good on-axis and to be fair we're not even shooting for "flat" or "linear" response, but just getting it to a point where it sounds good to you. Good luck, see if you can test before you permanent anything and let us know which way you go and how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
