be as symetrical as possible. dont change or put in really weird places, thats most important. where you put the speakers is where the sound will come from, if they aim from door to door, then they will sound like they do now. if you put them next to the window aiming at you, then it will seem the music is in front. etc...
its ideal to make a soundstage. a lot of people use the analogy of a concert, the sound should come from the front, most bands dont put speakers behind or to the side of the crowd. i recommend aiming the tweeters at an angle close to the passenger/driver. mids however aren't as important to worry about aiming.
i think the difference will be noticable, however it all depends on how you want it to sound. i like the mids near the floor, and the tweets above and below the dash approximatly, aiming at the seats. everyone has their preference. i suggest you tape them into all those positions and listen to what sounds best, before you cut holes.
