Speaker placement.

Hello, I will be installing some ID CXS 6.5 components in my 2012 FOFO and I was wondering what others have been doing for tweeter placement. My ID manual says to place the tweeters as close to the woofer as possible for best results. I was planing on using the factory tweeter locations until I read this. What have you guys found gave you the best results?

Is the stock location the "A" pillar or the sail panel?

You can always "snap" the tweeter to the mid by reversing the phase(switching the positive and negative wires)of the tweeter.

It is an old trick.
