I think its the best $25 investment one can make if they have decent front speakers in the doors.

I don't mean to hijack but is there cheaper stuff for baffle you can buy at Home Depot?

That's not to say T/A doesn't change phase, because it absolutely does. Your brains figures out imaging through time arrival differences (ITD).

Who cares about the passenger, they're not paying for the system ]

Your read my mind....

I have hushmat foam behind my 6.5s and it worked really well. Granted the WHOLE door is covered in sound dampening, so the speakers think they are in one really big ap enclosure.

I'd start with kick pods for placement of the front stage, and see how that works in a temporary template. move the speakers around, find out where you get the most equal signal path lengths, and the best positions for imaging and soundstage. Every car is different, so it's mostly a matter of trial and error till it works for you.
that's my best suggestion.

But time alignment is only good for the driver... When you get a passenger they will be like WTF?

OOOPs, I didn't even realize that I didn't put the type of vehicle they were going into....sorry about that!

Thanks for the replies and now that you know what they are going into maybe you can give better suggestions. Thanks to those who replied and please add now that you know the type of vehicle.
