Tweeters facing in or out ?
Ive seen alot of reviews where the reviewer tries it the way the manufacturer intended but eventually swapped them and liked the results better.Give them a shot each way. Going against the manufacturer's reccommendation might be more adequate with... 
Monitor or fullrange ?
