Yeah, I kind of wish they didn't put that speaker in the center of the car, as well. Now I find myself leaning my head toward the middle of the car to hear the stereo as it was intended. I hope poeple don't look over at me and think I'm a wannabe gangsta.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. What a dumb place to put a speaker.... the sun will eat it up in two years and with its screwed-up location, it will be impossible to change on your own. Forget about a to-go box leaking across it.
I'd buy a '04RL for 2K more than a '04TL in a New York minute.

Wow, this is fun. With the most shallow topic thread I could think of, I've managed to get 44 people to spend time and insults responding to this dumb thread. OVER A PLACEMENT OF A SPEAKER! UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE!
Next thread: The '04 doesn't have an ashtry... how stupid!

Okay, so he didn't understand the 5.1 of the '04TL... and his original post was a bit harsh... but sheesh, can we just inform someone without riduculing them?
And as for:
There is nothing wrong with not knowing. It is remaining ignorant that is a crime.

I don't see any work for Honda in terms of speaker placement in the TL. And as far as "sound imaging" it varies greatly if a window or sunroof is down or even if someone sits in the car... the resonating frequency is not constant.
It might sound great, but I still think the placement detracts from the overall smoothness of the dash.

Besides Elliot Scheiner is gay... that's why the speaker is in a dumb location. Sounds like a cat in a tin can. The G-35 sound system blows the '04 away; of course the '03 TL rocks.

Technically the dash isn't the center. Why not in the back of the car then? How about on either side of the headrest?
