kick panel with component speaker

after finding out that my rockford speaker doesn't fit my civic front door, I decided to fg a kick panel, I have read that you have to put the mid facing opposite b-pillar, but what about the tweeter? my component comes with 2 removable tweeter, should I leave them on the mid? or install them on the a pillar and at which angles?, any advice would be well appreciate.  Thanks

but what about water? I mean if it's raining outside, and when you walk in, waters going to get in there right?  and since the openning of the grill is too big, if you have like rock stuck in your shoes, once you put your feet on top of that,  rock might fall through.  about the tweeter, the instruction booklet come with the speaker advise to put the tweeter either closer than 2 inch or farer than 7 inch, never in the range of 2 to 7 inch.    The tweeter can be mounted right in the center of the speaker.  what I am asking is is it better to have them mounted on or separate them?

       :)        Another thing  you can do when setting up your components is to experiment with reversing the leads on the tweeter, which will reverse phase to it.  You may have a good install location for them and find that reversing the pos and neg wires will make the tweeter and your overall sound better. 

When I was building a crossover for my home system, I began to realize this when I found out that the 12 db/octave crossover itself normally causes enough time delay to cause the tweeter to have to be reversed to stay in phase with the woofer.  That made me realize what small differences in time or distance can make on the overall sound of a tweeter/woofer combination.

When you do this install, allow yourself the time to play with all these things.  When you're all done you'll be satisfied that you've found the best positioning for quality sound.

kfr01....you know I'm going to butt in anyway....;)

Ha ha, you got that last question in there after I started this..........when I start thinking as you do I know I've made some improvement!

Time alignment or acoustic phase alignment is a very important loudspeaker design criteria.  It is much more important in critical listening situations like home audio or studios and much less so in car audio (since cars basically suck as acoustic environments.)  It's a law of physics first described by Joseph Fourier.  There are so many important loudspeaker design theories on this topic from people like Joe D'Appolito, Bob Carver, Henry Kloss, and many others that it's hard to recomend a starting point...   HERE is a very nice web site that explains the theroy and how to design for it, largely in non-engineering terms.  In general, placing the tweeter within 1 diameter of the woofer and on the same center line is the best approach.  Including things like horizontal ofsets, offset baffles, acoustic plane alignment etc. is probably overkill for car audio, even for SQ comp.  Electronic time delay compensation is the best approach, IMO.

A properly designed coaxial (AKA "point source") loudspeaker is the theoretical "best" design for near-field monitoring.
