Bluetooth speakers to test audio directionality in cab

[leftybass209]

I'm searching for the best place to put speakers in the truck, given its obvious limitations with having the tank in cab and bench. I'm not approaching this with any preconceived ideas or hangups about cutting anything... just ampitheatre-like sound directionality AND appearance.

The initial findings with several different bluetooth speakers was interesting for sure. I was looking for the cleanest sound, with the least directionality and frequency bumps or rolloffs

Kick panel area was noticeably boxy and hollow sounding, midrange frequencies suffer down there
(The only way to overcome was a drastic angle towards ears)

The lower doors were surprisingly good positioning, though low mids sounded weak

The original dash location was superb for high midrange to tweeter level frequencies, with excellent dispersion; low mids and lows severely suffered with tightness and were very directional

Under driver and passenger seats had a noticeable mid high to high roll off, making them muddy.

Under the middle part of the bench.... bingo! No obvious dips in highs or lows, but a small bump in low mids. Dispersion was excellent, with a more amphitheater style audio instead of speaker-to-ear directionality

A combination of original dash and under middle bench of proper matched speakers would be the ticket I think.
