My point was I didn't put the tweeters in the kicks to prevent damage to the tweeter pods. I've tried three sets of tweeters up high..it sucked.

I gotta give chaparro78 mad props!!! I met up with him Wednesday, and by far..... His 350Z has the BEST sounding system I have ever heard in a Z (I've heard @ 5) And based on his setup I should hit very comparable to his. And that means...... Standing outside in front of the car, and feeling the bass through the CONCRETE!

VERY well balanced in ALL kinds of music he demo for me. All I gotta say is, I CAN NOT WAIT! By the way... my box is painted and looking

And Focal is worth listening to - lol - yeah right. Focal is pure garbage and anything they would tell me about speaker location I'd do the complete opposite just based on their products.

Even though I'm not personally using Focal speakers, your comments are biased at the very least. They are a solid and reputable company in the industry and ANYONE who knows car audio... knows this.
