Apparently uou have never listened to a set of kicks in a car! I had 6.5's in the doors & the way the door are, the speakers sit almost at the seats which isn't far enough in front of you to get proper imaging. Putting the speakers in the arm rest are (I also did that with 6.5's) sounds better then the OEM 4's & worse then 6.5's in the map pocket are. However it still doesn't sound half as good as speakers in the kicks! How hi/lo the speakers isn't nearly as important as where ther are. The speakers MUST be in front of you to get the best imaging. The installer/salesman who I am dealing with was testing several different ways of doing the kicks. He made a cardboard box which aimed the driver directly towards the middle of the car (towards feet) as well as directly at the middle between the driver/pass. He actually found that pointing them towards the middle smoothed out the midbass response & the speakers actually imaged better!
Anywas, you really need to hear a properly set up kick install & you will se how much better they sound then any other setup! That's whay 90%+ of the IASCA competition vehicles do speakers this way,because it's the best!
