For those of you who have doubts about the under seat mounting for midbasses i should point out not only have i found this to be the best method, the Head Sound Quality judge in Australia at present uses 8" midbasses mounted in exactly the same manner and has had them there for some years.
His is one of the best sounding cars i have ever heard.

They 8" are midbasses
Just like a 6" speaker only bigger, they do not have huge surrounds or big magnets like subs. Subswoffers have different characteristics and aren't designed to play the same frequency range. PS if you wait a couple of weeks i think i will be selling off the 7" midbass pods from lisa's car.

Just for thought... you can also mount the tweeter here (red circle in pic). When I put mounted mine here I retrimmed the triangular section in cloth so the tweeter's invisible, only diff is instead of being flat panel it will be the shape of a tweeter. That's if you want discrete installation (less likely to get broken into?)

I am currently in negotiations with a plastic moulder to have my original the A pillar design mass produced. (by masss produced i mean limited sets say 20 pairs) i'll keep you all informed.

Just be aware there is a significant difference in sound mouted in that location as opposed to the A-pillar. The size of the sound waves at the frequency's played by tweeters is very small and only a few cm can make a huge difference. I tried the sail pillars during tuning and found the A-Pillar to be much better for imaging and staging cues. Unfortunately car audio often comes down to Budget Vs Form Vs Function Often times it is simply not practical to mount the speakers you want where you want but that doesn't mean that is not the best location for them to be in...

My method for midbass is a little different to what most people would do, but then I am not most people.
I use a Canton 3 way set which comprises a 1 in tweeter a 5 in midrange and a 10 in midbass. I now have the tweeters mounted in the sail area and find with this style of tweeter it works exceptionally well. Best of all the door trim can be reverted back to standard and look untouched which is a big bonus. Cheers, Outlawxr6
