Pointing midrange at windshield?

Easier to get away with that at higher frequencies (tweeters). It'll come down to experimenting in that vehicle and running in or out of phase. Build small temporary boxes and set them up there. Can put a wedge under the box for angling.

Biggest pain will be isolating the rear for the final install. Don't plan on much mid bass out of them....

Static drops are my bag.

windshields seem to make midranges sound dead and tweeters sound bright. Why not angle them towards the listener and aim to the middle. It will give you a much more pleasing sound than angling towards the windshield. Thats just my experience, but every vehicle is different. So experiment and do what sounds best for your set up.

No no no and no

Where do people come up with this stuff

4000 hz and below are omni directional

Tweeter should be facing the listener dome tweeters can be more omni direction but that is only because of the dome shape produces more sound at a wider angle

Omnidirectional?

Do you mean the response is the same on all axis from center of the speaker (same sound 360 degree sphere around speaker)?

Haven't heard a midrange or mid bass cone-and-basket driver with those properties.

Or

Do you mean you can't localize where the sound is coming from?

This is widely considered to be 80Hz or below with drivers containing zero mechanical noise.

Neither one has anything to do with reflecting speakers and direct radiating speakers blending together in the same system.

Either way...umm...well please enlighten us.

And yes, direct on-axis listening is of course the best. At higher (faster) frequencies it does become more difficult for most people to differentiate in phase and out of phase when only reflecting say, the tweeters. That's what I meant by "easier to get away with" and as always--test, test, test.
