ok, but attenuation is going to do nothing as far as the left reaching your ear slightly ahead of the right, this will give the perception of the right being further, & that should put a center at close to the left windshield pillar. as you delay the left speaker, you adjust that pinpoint center over towards the center of the windshield where it belongs, but then the passenger has the oposite results.

I'm always shooting for a center image in the center of the windshield, I'm wondering if when you put the drivers up that close to you, if your now getting a center image that's more in front of you than centered in the car? I guess that would sound good at each indevidual side really, this is the only way I can see it working.

if that's the case though, if you had 2 people in the front seat, both with eyes closed, a vocal in dead center, & asked each ocupant to point at where they thought the vocal was located, would they each point to a different spot? each slightly more in front of them than center of the windshield? with equal pathlengths both ocupants would point to the exact same spot, center of the windshield... how could that be acheived with the opposite driver 3-4X the distance from you?

oh & yeah, I get the vertical vs horizontal thing, it's very doable to get a nice high stage with all drivers mounted down low too
