I have a Smart car doing a very nice component installation on the dash, custom fiberglass, with the dbdrive Euphoria 5.25 set. I'm looking for input on how to do the lay-out of the speakers for best sound quality? I was going to aim the midbass drivers straight ahead on an angle upward toward the windshield, and the tweeters would be mounted on the A-pillars firing across the car.

thanks.

Do you have any pictures of the dash, the steering wheel, and where the seats are?

Im also going to be doing this soon (i already have a pair on the pillars in fiberglass enclosures molded around each pillar...only theyre coaxials but still sound pretty darn good) but im most likely going to have 2-3 pairs of 6.5" (probly only going to use 1 pairs tweeters...maybe two tho)....does nay one here know of a site where there are alot of these types of installs (alot of dash mounted speakers and fiberglassing the front-stage...dash, doors, etc.) thanks. and good luck
