Just sayin'...The tweeters are very much on axis at thier present location. Soundstage is very high on the windshield, and widespread left to right. Considered a center channel until I gave it a good listen.
I have been installing for 25+years, and have had much success on the competition circuit with all of my vehicles, but the 370 install by far is the best sounding system I have ever put together.
The MB Quart amp shown in my post was one of the amps I had In a 1999 Chrysler Sebring that I Took to the 2005 Slapshow Nationals in Hagerstown, Md and Did a 2nd place finish (missed by 1 point) Great SQ amp.....I have a twin for sale if anyone is interested.......
Ah, I only recommend those to people who do not intend on doing serious SQ setups. I would get your final speaker locations and speakers setup before considering a center, a lot of the new time alighnment helps create a virtual center in some aspects.

The db's are good for running off a head unit and the mm's are a good mid range component set for the average consumer. To people that get serious I recommend other brands such as, morel, rainbow, audison "amps", zapco "amps", image dynamics, focal and so on. So in no way your being a jerk I just know what people's budget is and what they want from the system. I personally am going with a 3 way setup active with the MS8 in my altima. Can not wait to work on that. I also know that a 2 way setup can sound just as good as a 3 way if done properly.

Also I did two installs with the stage 4 components in 2 way active mode and passive, I did not care for their tone but you may find different.
