I am leaning towards putting the tweeters in the a-pillars, maybe even up at the top. the manual that came w/my comps said the distance between the tweets and woofer should be less than 18 inches. So i am looking at a distance of 3 feet. Is it really that big of a deal? I know they'll be blaring in my face but if i turn them down relative to the rest of the system it should be cool right?

In my non-7thgencivic, I had a pair of Infinity Kappa tweeters mounted to the metal in the windshield pillars. Never quite sounded right. I moved them to right next to the mid/woofer. ALOT better.

The door panel is really the best for imaging. I think mine sound good in the sails, but any more and it will be too separated.

the reason why you want to mount them so close is because sound takes time to go a-b. Keeping it as close as possible will eliminate some lag.
now if you have a deck that does time correction, lets say.. um.. alpine :P you can have it in the a pillar and still sounding great

Also you get a better image by sitting further away from the front so sound has more time to propagate. My time correction actually doesn't sound as good when it's turned on.

sorry to go off topic but has anyone tried them in the a/c vents?
i was thinking of doing that but wasn't sure if it would sound good.

electronics and heat are a no no... plus I think you will get too much reverb from the opening over the vent.
