Post Tweeters in Kick Panels or Dash?

I've heard in the past that kick panels are the best place for tweeters. I know that this is for imaging purposes, but then you have the speakers so low. I have mine in the kick panels, and although they image well, I think they might be better up on the dash either firing at the windwhield or aimed in an x formation. (as in front left points to back right of car, front right points to back left of car) I don't want to cut my doors, so I would move the tweets to the dash if any place.

How many people have theirs in the kicks, dash, or doors? and why do you prefer that spot?

This is a very subjective matter. The best thing you can do is use double sided tape and experiment with different tweeter locations until you find the spot that you think sounds the best.

yep, right on ls1

i have mine flush mounted on the top of the door panels by the side view mirrors. i think they are too loud there myself but they look cool.

the new t/a's with the monsoon system have the tweets mounted in the kick panels but in a way that they are still facing in the upward x pattern. they sound very good imho.
