Where should I mount my new Fanatic Component speakers for best imaging?
When optimum imaging is the goal, the ideal situation would be to mount all the speakers on axis with your ears, and with the path length difference from left to right kept to a minimum. This usually means mounting the speakers in the kick panel area, with the mids & tweets as close together as possible. However, good imaging can still be obtained by experimenting with tweeter placement, and using a factory location for the mids. The image will not be as well focused or placed with the tweeter mounted away from the mid, but it may be a compromise that is acceptable to you.
