Speaker direction

[AZ_chris]

Should the external speaker be pointed downward, upward or just left in the middle for maximum audio in the car?

At one time I had 4 powered speakers in my extended cab pickup. One mounted at ear height on the left post between the front and rear doors facing my head (about 3" from my left ear). Another similarly placed on the right post facing the driver, and one each at the upper right rear and the upper left rear (high, in the corner), both pointing at the driver position. Now I just have the one near my left ear.

Speakers should be pointed along a clear path directly toward the listener for best results.

In my Mustang I have one mounted flat on the rear shelf pointed up which allows for the glass to redirect the sound to the front. Works well.

I'll second that.

I have mine mounted between the headrest and the seat behind my neck. Works good for me.
