I've never seen a midrange mounted that high for imaging before...that's interesting. Usually, don't you want the soundstage to be in the center of the dash, instead of in the driver's seat?

what do you plan to use for processing?

having the mid/tweet that close to you on one side will require extensive time corrections to even it out

I think I would have either aimed each side to the opposite or to the middle of the truck.....and that way you could have molded the mids into the a-pillars a little more discretely. Looks interesting though, let us know how it sounds.

I do have the passenger side done as well aimed at my right ear as the kicks are the same too.I will be using an eclipse 8455(has alignment option in it) that ive had for a few years and love it with a rockford 360.6 to really tweek it.the amp will be a jl 300/4 with the fronts(a pillar) running of quart x overs and the rear 2 channels running the kicks,the sub will be custom made as the center seat you wont even know its there running off a jl 500/1.
