So your two channels up front are left and right, not lows/highs. A 2-way system is a basic componant with a woofer and tweeter, a 3-way system is a woofer/mid/tweeter(I will show examples in my system below), and I had never heard of a 4 way until just now which is why I asked. That is unless you are talking about a 4-way coaxial speaker which is where the 3 tweeters(overkill) are held above the woofer.The reason the soundstage is kept to the front is to recreate a live performance as if the artist was standing on your hood performing for you. If you have an accurate soundstage you will be able to tell which side of the stage the performers are on, and they rarely go behind you.Ditch the sail panels behind the mirrors for the tweets. Using this keeps the tweeter on the same plane as the woofer, but puts it 2 ft closer to your ears. You are right that I subscribe to the idea that the speakers need to be kept as close as possible to minimize the differences in the distances traveled by the sound. I use a 3-way(6"/4"/1") in my gt but I have the 1 and 4 mounted in the kick panels and the 6.5 in the door. That location is ideal for that, as long as you and your passenger do not have big feet/legs....</blockquote>
