I've never liked the tweeters to be low in the doors, highs are so directional that when someone is in the passenger seat (or even my own leg) gets in the way of the soundwave, it really changes the stage. Mids are less affected by obstruction, so the OEM door location is fine.

So my personal preference is components (at least a decent 2-way- mid woofer and tweeter), with the highs approximately dash/mid dash high as to not be obstructed, and then everything time aligned on individual channels.

Thanks for your answer!

Would you recommend upgrading the stock tweeters and keeping them where the stock tweeters are located?

Should I get components and replace the 4" speakers? Or just look for some components?
