I have never understood this comment. Considering head placement in a car, I would think rear door speakers would be the primary place to put speakers for stereo separation effect which should include midrange and highs. Given the delay systems we have for home theater units, I'm surprise there isn't a big call for left channel delay on high end car audio.
And what happened to rear deck speakers? Compared to a door, what a great open volume of space for larger cone drivers if properly sealed from the passenger compartment. And the rear window makes an reasonably shaped cone reflector. The Bose systems sure take advantage of it, not that they are the best out there, but they sure have a reputation for sound engineering.
Maybe I'm just stuck in the days of large magnet efficient drivers at low-medium wattage, low THD and crisp sound, not ass thumping bass and 8 lanes of sound.
