Preferably above or level with!) you will never attain a truest focused centre as it will always seem that 500hz is dragged across the vehicle from the centre, you can’t time align a frequency independant of the others, so it really is critical for a top flight car to be aimed and sound correct on the passenger side, I can’t stress that enough, if you gat a bad car for this it can properly ruin your day/year... I’ve just sold a van which had issues that couldn’t be solved without perhaps major work. But I wasn’t willing to cut up a 5000 pound van on the off chance it would then sound like audio nirvana, I’ve just bought a cheaper car and now I’m going to go to town (build log will follow!)
Passenger side is THE single most important thing for me as get that right and tuning then becomes easy! Get it wrong and 99% of people will think it’s awesome still... until you play certain tracks which reveal it (not everyone hears it or listens carefully enough)
The 2018 EMMA CD is designed to show flaws up and does a wonderful (or horrible job depending on perspective!) job of showing issues
