May need to trim some off the end of each cap, they definitely stick out way too much. Can't sink them too far into the sails though, or they'll hit the sheet metal.
Guess that's why I'm wondering about A-pillars now. But seems like the sail panels would offer better image and stage.
Are you not entertained?!?!

My vote is sails. Informed by nothing but a hunch and a modicum of research

I would use hot glue to temporarily try different options...or make it adjustable, like I did in my Element
See the pods in the upper left

Hey! I remember those pods!

I'd say sail panel, unless it in a low position where the tweeter aim would be hitting the dash/driver console.

Strictly my own opinion, but the Golf is my first car that came with a-pillar tweets and I like how it sounds more than the sail panel tweets I've done in my last couple of cars.
But the best thing you can do is create some sort of temporary mount and experiment with both locations to see what you like, every car is different and everyone has their own preferences. Sails are usually less intrusive install-wise.

Thanks! It's an unusual setup with some compromises but it's punchy, clean and dynamic at fairly loud volumes. Practical too. That's mainly what I'm after in a daily-driver system.
I have a sub and amps upgrade planned, unfortunately those items have been delayed by a few months. I just gotta stay patient!
