Someone hasn't been reading at all.
You obvious don't even know what speaker phasing is. I've been building car stereos since 1985 and still making my living as a engineer for a group of radio stations. Audio has been my life for going on 30 years.
I don't care if you compete or not. Any idiot can pay an entry fee. When I competed, I won. Admittedly, I don't compete any more but basics like speaker placement haven't changed. Having tweeters closer to the ear is ALWAYS going to sound better from inside the car. That's why the stock locations are always near the top of the door or in the dash.
To support my point from above, here's the definition of phasing. Distance between tweeters and woofers has nothing to do with it (unless you have them across a football field from each other).

Phasing is the relationship between one sound reproducing device and another sound reproducing device. A speaker that is out of phase is trying to move air in one direction at the same time another speaker is trying to move air in the opposite direction. Without trying to get into technical terms, with both speakers moving in opposite directions, the speakers cancel out much of the musical signal they are trying to reproduce. The biggest symptom of a system that is out of phase is the loss of bass response and greater chance of feedback.
Phasing occurs between components that are reproducing the same frequency range. A speaker that reproduces the lows and a horn that is reproducing higher sounds can be out of phase and still work good together. Again, the low frequencies will be the most noticeable, so phasing in the lower speakers is the easiest to hear. Even if all your speakers are hooked up properly (red to + and black to -), some types of speakers, like JBL’s, reverse the way the speakers move. This means that if you hooked up these speakers with another brand, even if you took care to hook up all the wires the same, you could still be out of phase and loosing sound.
