Both locations proved to be very harsh on the ears. In my gen 5.5 i am using the same components but i had baffles made to house both the woofer and the tweeter in the door position. This is 100x better for the fact that the woofer and tweeter and close together and there is no time delay. i recommend contacting MrMarv on here about getting baffles made to do the same.
yes, ive heard this rationale, regarding sound stage n time delay. i wuld try it myself, but i dont have the fabricating skills to make custom baffles for both mids n tweets. plus, ive always worried about my legs or my passengers legs gettin in the way of the tweeter. i'll look into that some day though. thnx...
