Tweeter location for an 07 Maxima

I'll be installing a set of Morel Dotech Ovation 6 components into my 07 Maxima as soon as the weather breaks. I've read that the worst place to install the tweets is in the sail panel. That's exactly where I was originally planning to put them (replace the BOSE tweeter) as I figured it would be the easiest. Would the kick panel, or A pillar be better? Any idea on what would give the best soundstage in our car? If I mount them in the A pillar, do they need to be facing each other, as out A pillars are more angled towards the passenger compartment? Let me know what you've done in your 6.5 and how it sounds.

the sail panels will be just fine. i have my tweeters in the a-pillars, aimed on axis with the center of each sound "beam" crossing over my right shoulder. just tape the tweeter in various positions until you get the sound you're looking for. then install them after you find the optimum placement.
