Okay so, back in the day, I had mids + highs, in the doors... and in the front of the dash pointed straight back.... and in the top of the dash, reflecting off of the windshield. And it sounded great.... at least to my untrained ears, from 20 to 15 years ago. I don't remember any cancellation problems, nor did I ever have any problems with running a bunch of mids and highs on only two amp channels.
But that was so freaking long ago.... and maybe I didn't know what to listen for... or maybe I just got lucky... who knows.

So here we are all these years later, with my new system. The tweets with my Polk Audio components sound fantastic. Smooth, but plenty bright. The only thing is, tweets are SOOO directional, if I turn my head to the left or right, I lose them a lot.
I think they might sound better on the a-pillars (imaging wise) but I hear they should be kept as close as possible to the mids (which mine won't ever be able to moved from the doors).
So anyway, with no further rambling.......
What problems might I encounter if I were to add an additional pair of the same exact Polk Audio tweets that I have now, in the top of my doors, to the a-pillars pointing straight (or nearly so) back ?
Then their is the whole thing about changing the resistence on those two channels.... which would not only change things with my amp... but (if I'm not mistaken) would change the passive x-over points in my component x-overs. Hmmmmm......
Add a pair of tweets ?
Move my existing tweets to the pillars (a little further from my door mounted mids) ?
Leave as is, and don't ever turn my head to the left or right ?
Hmmm,
Your thoughts ?
