who gives a ****ing rats ass about reflections?

You aren't even mounting the speakers on axis so its already ****ed up to start with.

Who cares about what crossover frequencies you choose if you won't hear it properly anyways? Just do fourth order Linkwitz-riely x-overs to maximize power handling and forget about it.

Reflections shouldn't matter if you mount your speakers far enough away from surfaces that cause them.

Example: lots of people say use mats on your dash, I tried it, no effect since my speakers are on the front lip of the dash.

The ONLY change in the sound I have from windows up or down is baffle step around 300-500 Hz since my midwoofers are right beside the windows.

I plan to move them so the baffle step remains constant regardless of window position.

If you're on axis with your drivers, reflections aren't that bad at all.

Try it yourself before you assume that all these people are telling the truth.

These are the same people who CHOOSE to mount their speakers facing each other right beside the windsheild instead of on axis.

My a/d/s/ speakers use a 6db slope for the mid so I'm wondering how well they'd work with a tweeter in the A-pillar. I believe the tweeter is a 12db slope.
Who uses the factory crossovers?

Better yet, who uses passive crossovers these days?
