It occurred to me when fitting some new car speakers that a dual
concentric design would be ideal for this use. But they all seem to
have tweeters just stuck on the front. Any reason why this design has
fallen out of favour?

**Perhaps people have finally discovered what I found a few decades ago:
They sound like ****. Given that midrange frequencies are being bounced
off the back of the tweeter, the result ends up sounding like a pig's
breakfast. I've never heard a decent dual concentric car speaker.
Perhaps it's due to the shockingly bad crossovers used. Maybe it's just
the cheap, crappy drivers.

You've confused me. Are you referring to the 'standard' design with a
tweeter or tweeters added to the main unit - or a dual concentric? I've
never seen a dual concentric for car use.
