wouldnt the tweeters mounted in the sail sound better than the tweeters mounted in the stock location? if you ask me i think the ideal place to install them is the sail. when its installed in the sail it points out towards yourt ears rather than pointing up where the stock is located.

the location thing has been discussed, if the speaker is on the sail it will point straight at your ears, but i would imagine it could get too loud sometimes. the stock location is designed to point straight up and bounce off the windsheild towards you as if the sound is coming from in front of you, and then its also harder to tell where the sound is coming from.

This pic doesn't really focus on the tweeter, but you get the idea.

When I was installing mine, I had a friend hold the passenger side tweeter while I was holding the driver side, and we adjusted them to all different angles until it didn't sound too harsh, or direct

I have type-R comps as well. When installing them they woudlnt fit back in the stock position so I just put them right next to it. Ive been lazy ever since and never got around to finding a new place to put them

. ideally i want to do a flush mount install but based on the pics it might not be possible.

I'm still debating with myself if I wanna do this way or not, I think i'm gonna try the stock location first, cuz if I screw them up, I can always just cover them back up. I do have a set of spare mirror sails too, in case I feel like cuttin. Not sure what to do yet. ER ![Annoyed](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/annoyed.gif)
