Yes, the null is completely reversed!

Nicely done !

Did some more experimenting tonight. Just tilted the mids about 20-25deg toward cabin.
Response comparisons: RED = original dash mount, GREEN = On axis, BLUE = Tilted toward cabin
I'm really surprised that just tilting the mids slightly like that made such a difference.... I really didn't expect it. Some eq work can bring down the humps in response.
So now I will be trying to figure out a way to permanently tilt the mids toward the cabin on a sealed baffle and make it look nice... I really don't want to get into glassing (I've never done it, I don't have any materials or tools for it, and I'm not really interested in learning it) so I'm going to try and come up with some other method

A round tube made from ? ( pvc , cardboard tube, several rings of wood , glass bottle , flexible metal piping [ exhaust piping semi-trailer] ) and a saw to cut angle [ skill , hacksaw , keyhole , sawzall , etc.., ]. Fiberglass and a piece of material with small popsicle sticks and rings of wood , some glue from a hotmelt glue gun [ craft store items ]. Something to stuff in the enclosure ( batting type material , pillow stuffing , etc.., ]
Could use a 4 inch dryer vent they are round and flexible , anything that circumference is adequate to allow speaker to be enclosed [ think rear wave separated from front wave ].
Some eq smoothing VOILA
Just tilted the mids about 20-25deg toward cabin.

This angle is close ,interior matching paint/flocking/wrap with material , etc..,

didn't Matt have a truck, '90 Chevy? that he did a mild angle with the mid nearly touching the windshield, to give his best reflection vs. no dash pod look, and so many people found it to be highly congruent with SQ...
I think it was red, there was a granite topped console, hard to forget it because I had both a '91 and a '93, and that mild angle was an easy copy... I used a Bose cube for a test enclosure up there in the dash, but it couldn't quite get as good.
There's a lot of people who just dismiss the stock dash location because they don't want to compromise, but even here with a mild tilt the answer is hiding in plain sight, no need for the A-pillar builds, especially with such tools as APL1 and FIR in miniDSP garb, perhaps this is a retro thought process but moving the drivers is probably as good as it gets in the land of no-DSP or graphic, non-parametric head unit signal manipulations.
I am glad for this build and the testing done, corroborating previous attempts that keep the midrange somewhere near stock vicinity, even if a small volcano is waiting for it's turn in the usual spaces...
Yep, and he still has it. You can find the build log on that other forum.
