the way a speaker really works hasnt changed but the materials that designer has access to has changed dramatically over the last decade, and therfore the way they go about designing them has dchanged, and the cars today sound better than the cars of 10 years ago by a long shot imo

 

First - I never said they suck. In fact, back on page 4 I specifically said:
And if you recall back to the late 80s and early 90s, most often the mid went in the door and the tweeter either high on the door, on the dash, or on the A-pillar. The current resurgence is a fad brought on by the availability of affordable time alignment devices and the desire to not have the now common kickpanel install.
Without the time alignment, dash mounted midranges and tweeters often exhibit harsh side to side bias. Back in the day the fix was a center channel. That brought it's own problems and people moved to the kickpanel.

 

you tell em' boy, everyones allowed there opinion on this board, just no personal attacks, or racist comments

 

^ You're such a humanitarian Dave.

theboy - you need to relax. I used the word "often" with regards to side to side bias. And it does happen more often than not. James did not merely drop his tweeters onto his dash.

As for the other - Tim, Dereck and I were "everyone" offering input in the discussion so YES indeed we were everyone else. How about you try to offer some intelligent input? THen you might be part of everyone too.

Oh and Dave - my apologies, I did not answer your question:
Why YES I have. Funny you should ask...
