So essentially the tweeters are facing each other?

Well, not directly. The front windshield glass on you car is curved. I ran them pretty much in parallel with the first 12" of glass next the tweeter mount (if that makes sense...... you have to visualize this!!). Now that being said, Jamie had helped me with the initial positioning/setup and listening and then I modified them because of some other changes. The point being is that we just didn't toss them in and that's that. We listened and tweaked them to ensure they worked properly...... well, as best as we could get them considering the time we spent.

Every vehicle is different. What works in one may not work in another in exactly the same manner. That's where having a very experienced installed and tuner is VERY critical. And yup...... for that, you will have to pay. But it's worth it at the end of the day.

Ok, so let me see if I get this right. It's the same dashboard in the first and last picture, pictured in the same car. But in the last picture you modified the dashboard to remove the dip?

BTW.. install looks good.

As promised last week, here is the graph of frequency response of the woofers in the car...
Pink noise... No Sub, no tweeters, only the 6,5''-woofers, playing fullrange, no EQ, no time delay.
It´s the black line, red and blue line were two other 6,5''...

Here is the same graph again, bigger file, but better resolution: frequency response
