James,

That's hot!  How is the sound quality from that set up?  I'd imagine that
the high and middle is nice and bright up in the cab.  Does quality degrade
in the rear, or does the windshield bounce it back that far?

I surface-mounted mine in that area of the dash. The angle of the dash
coupled with the angled mount directs the sound fairly well toward ear
level.

They are MB Quart 5.25" components, with flush-mount grills on the door
speakers.
