Wheres the best place to put tweeters?

IMO, they should always be next to the mids. The mids and tweets are trying to reproduce sound as a single unit. Moving them apart ruins this effect and your ears hear the highs and mids comming from different directions and arriving at your ear at different times. The effect is sublte, but your brain interprets it as sounding "wrong" and not natural.

Frequencies above 500 hz are very directional, and we can still detect direction delow 80 hz, but not as well.

I use a set of super tweeters, CDT Image Enhancement Kit crossed off above 12 khz, which helps raise the sound stage off the floor without destroying the orginal source sound from the door speakers. Works pretty well.

It really depends. If I were running a passive set of comps, I probably would have kept them together, but since I'm running an active set-up with time correction for each channel I placed mine in the a-pillars.

It's possible to separate them and have them sound great as a passive set... but it's not likely that it will be easy to do.
