Personally I would flush mount them in the A pillars (the plastic trim that runs down the side of the windshield).

Depending on the depth of your tweeters they may not flush mount, but you can take care of that with some body filler and/or fiberglass. In other words go custom.

Play around with the position of the tweeters and see what sounds best to you.




As for components (2 way or 3 way) vs. a 3 or 4 way coaxial, I'd go with components. I highly suggest using a amp on them.

Here's the thing with sound. What you have to compare stuff to is basically a stock system, so pretty much anything is going to sound better the closer you get to "appropriate" positioning.

Cars suck acoustic wise. Their meant to get you from point A to point B, not sound like a concert hall.



With proper positioning what your trying to do is minimize the pathlength difference between the right/left speakers and your head/ears. Your always going to have some pathlength difference, but the idea is to minimize it.

In other words, if your sitting in the drivers seats, the left speaker is closer to your head/ears then the right speaker. This is the pathlength difference I'm talking about.


Theres also things like time alignment.

another place would be what 88 mentioned: the A pillars at ear/eye level (this is to improve imaging making it seem like the music you are listening to is coming from out on the hood of the car).

Placing the tweeters high up also brings up the soundstage. Your ears are more sensitive to high freqencies and can pick up on their location better then lower frequencies.
