If you are happy with the location, great. But I would highly recommend that noone else do this. "If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit" -Mitch Hedberg

Because As I have come to learn in my eight years of designing and building sound systems. You midrange and tweets need to be as far away from the ear as possible to create the correct soundstage. I do have custom built laser jigs for correct positioning of the tweeter cup. But is not necessary to achieve a very good sound. 99' Silver Frost SVT 18" Racing Hart C2's Fidanza Flywheel SPEC Stage III clutch Torsen Diff.

Makes for a VERY EASY install, i can help you with a how-to. It is kinda like adding a center channel speaker. One thing i dont like about our cars is the fact that the speakers are on the doors (on our sides) and nothing is coming from the front or back. So this was a great addition. Then just wire them to the front speakers. edit: btw my tweeters are the pioneer 3/4" silk dome tweeters. 50-75 bucks i think they were. Very good tweeters. Like 90w peak power.

Kick panels are the way to go if you don't have time alignment features. The A-pillar idea would be preferred by most non-competitors, IMO. The sail panel idea would accomplish similar goals (raising the sound stage) "If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit" -Mitch Hedberg

I mounted mine on the doors here: They are angle mounted, and are as close to being in a kickpanel location without actually building one. Soundstage is decent, and surprisingly high considering the tweeter location. Just be careful not to kick them off when getting in and out of the car... -Jeff -"Buck Futter!!"

Probably be using a/d/s 3 Series mid unit and either the LPG 26 tweeter or a Audax TM025. Would allow extremely picky types various shim installations to get the right angle then cover the shims. Or at least that's my plan. Silver '98 SVT Diamantswartz '88 535is
