Pillar tweeter placement is ok, but your seperating the sound. as for 3 dollar tweets, whatever works man. some of us are really into our sound, and its tough, cuz if you dont hear other products, you dont notice how much of a difference the sound is from what your used too. so if you enjoy your 3 dollar tweets, dont sit in a car that has a 1,000 comp set. hehe

Yes generally speaking tweeters should be 7" from the mid, but a quick look through prior winning SQ cars will show pillar placement for tweeters has very good results, I've had them everywhere in the car, I stopped after putting them in the pillar because that's where I found I liked them best. I have mangled kickpanles, door panels, and fabricated brackets made to hold the tweeters. All done in the search for a perfect spot. I think I'll move them further down the pillar when I get my new tweeters but I won't be doing much over that. They only play the final octave, and effectively the soundstage is raised and moved forward. They are roughly equidistant from my ears as the mids in any case, and the time correction on my HU will rid me of any discernable delay between the two.

As for my experience with trying other products, I used to spent hundreds on pre assembled components and I have heard many more. I've discovered that I was spending more than I needed to. I'm very much into my sound, I've owned seceral component sets and individual components in the last 5 years. I've heard $1000 speakers, I just can't justify thier purchase. $1000 doesn't mean they are always worth the $1000

I really don't get it, I'm getting knocked down a notch by people who have not even heard my system. WTF?
