After some more listening, it's going to be the Hertz 165XL mids, the Hertz ML280.3 Mille Tweeters, and the Hertz 87.3 coax for rears. Beauty of having the MS8 is it will keep the staging right over the dash even with the rears.

I do have a question for those that have done component installs in the 370 before. How did the tweeters in the stock location turn out? I am worried about that, but there is no good place to mount it on (or even slightly off) axis. I get that the windshield should reflect it to basically be on axis, but I have a hard time believing that the frequency reproduction will be AS good as if you weren't reflecting the sound.

I tried the stock locations initially, and was not happy with them there. I ended up placing them low in the door panels, just above the woofers. Active processing is a wonderful thing....... I eventually added a second set up on my a-pillars to raise the stage even further, with great success, but I am a bit anal when it comes to the soundstage, and regularly compete with the car, so it was a necessary evil for me.

Good to know. Stock locations will be tried first, hopefully the magical processor will sort it out. I can't use the A pillars as I have a gauge pod there.
