Correct, @B&T, but instinctively this didn't look right.
Because (I am quoting without actual measurement, apologies!) mounted on the ORVM panel, 45 degrees from that point would be somewhere near the gear stick or thereabouts. The left tweeter would be OK, but for the right tweeter the listener would be quite "behind" the 45 degrees line.
That just *may* affect. But then, since the sound stage is much more than the axis orientation of the drivers (what with all reflections and interference intersections) it would not be comparable with, say, the swivel pod ORVM panel tweeter mounting in the Safari EX. (All the drivers are tilted slightly towards the rear in Safari. The mid-bass drivers in the door are also tilted towards the ceiling)
