With all due respect, car stereo 101 is, get the tweeters as close to the ears as you can. If you had, without even asking, cut a hole in my door panel and completely ignored the fact that there is a stock location for tweeters in the car already, you'd be buying me a new door panel.

When you purchase a set of components that comes with a crossover, you're not going run into phasing issues. That's a pretty lame excuse to start cutting holes in somebody's car.

For a serious audiophile, not so much, but an audiophile would also have some sort of processing as well to raise the soundstage........So, that being said, noone asked the OP the question......Are you underpowering your components, and overpowering your sub? (in relation to each other) in essence drowning out your high end? I say this because he stated that he needs more high end, not a higher soundstage.
Again, I'm not trying to start anything here but... if you had actually read OPs first post, there's a link to the EXACT system he has in the car. He's powering the whole thing with a 3 channel amp. He's not under powering the components or over powering the sub.
