1. oem spot too far, the sound won't be max
2. the tweeter would be facing upward, and the sound would reflex to windscreen and bounce back.
3. oem spot sometimes too small to fit good tweeter (read : big size)
4. we need the tweeter to face to us to get best sound.

thanks guys... as what dmx said, it wouldn't sound the best using oem spot... gonna see how much it'lll cost to get professionally fitted

what do you guys think of this?

i'm going to be upgrading head units and want to get a double din - so i figure i might as well go with in dash dvd, with blue tooth, i-pod control, etc...

i've never bought anything no-name before... do you think i should spend a little bit extra and get something branded or should would the one shown above be sufficient?

cheers!
