any tips to how to aim the tweeters?
aiming them toward the center of the interior of the car, is what i found by searching on internet.
any thoughts?
sticking my head at the middle of the car and aim it with my eyes, is what i think makes sense...
is it acceptable?

is it acceptable? | What kind of tweeters are you using? Are you going to be using a passive x-over or will you be going active?
These questions are critical to answer before a suggestion can be offered.

i ripped it off, and oh shee, i forgot to leave a space to run a speaker wire, because i dont want to drill the original panel https://drive.google.com/open?id=1PC...Og1VKICIti_PRA https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Nj..._RJlm5_5BmvBIA
so i retaped it, and try to do it again https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ya...aTh1QlTFVPeSHQ
for the second time i lay the mat,,, i dont know why there is air coming out from the bottom of the piece or the mat sticked on the bottom and it comes back up, and looks like it always have air under it? and the gutter turned out very high, probably the first layer of "resin only" didnt dry enough before i start laying matts?
oh well,, the first piece came out better,

When you point metal tweeters at each other, they will perform better than towards your ears or the window.
