First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I realize you have already purchased the speakers, but if you want something up high, then look at some separates: a midrange driver with a separate tweeter. Mount the mids in the sacrificial kick panels and then mount the tweeters on the a-pillar. many brands out there have surface mount flanges were you can do this and then aim the tweeter at the driver's position. You could even make a bracket that screws to the metal behind the pillar cover and then comes out from behind it at the edge, so you wont have to drill holes in the trim. This will go a long, long way in brightening up the sound coming from the front, and it will also give you what is known as "front stage, rear fill" where it sounds like the majority of the sound is coming from in front of you.

Paul, I am not trying to build a monster system. I just want to be able to pipe some sound into the front of the cabin. I do value quality speakers though, and that's why I bought the Infinities. I am willing to sacrifice kick panels or door panels, but I'd rather go for something closer to the dash.

Though I bought those classic Kenwood speakers and they are not very good, you REALLY need the separation to get a decent sound.... Though it depends on what you're going for. Seeing as you bought good speakers, I would assume that you want something that sounds good. What are your goals?
