hey can someone tellme which will be the best orientation to my tweeters? i will change the location.

I need to point the Right Tweeter to the head rest of the Left Seat and the left tweeter to the right HeadRest of the Right Seat right?

that will be ok?

    that's a good starting point, but the only way to really tell is to get a friend and have him help you move the tweeters all over, angle them different ways, and so on... basically, you have to try everything out, there's no real way to predict which will sound best to you...

    The only way to do this right is to take some 2 sided 3M tape and stick the tweets in different locations and see where they sound best. There will be trade offs and youll have to see which you like best.

    For instance, with my tweets in the sail panels they had the best SQ and detail because they werent bouncing off any glass but the imaging was very side biased. With them on the A-pillars the image was more spread across the top of the dash but they were a little harsher due to all the glass they were now reflecting off of.

    that is, try placing and pointing them BEFORE you fiberglass...
