Hot Rails Bridge

Which guitar pickup goes in the middle?
ok my guitar has a humbucker at the neck, a single coil in the middle, and a humbucker at the bridge.
i am thinking of getting new pickups for the middle. the seymour duncan hot rails.

and it asks if i want them at the neck or bridge. which one goes in the middle a neck or a bridge pickup?
And i am also thinking of getting a seymour duncan invader at the bridge.

is the invader at the bridge and the hot rail in the middle a good combination for a metal sound?
Hmm...what kind of guitar is it?
That's a weird combination.....
any way, I don't think it matters with single coil pickups, just pop it it the middle and mount it at the same height as the original. That should be fine.
And Metal shouldn't need the combo of the two pickups. Metal is usually done with humbuckers at the bridge. Although if you do use the combo, it's better to have a high gain like a hot rail in the middle rather that a weaker single coil.
I think it's better to always have comparable gain levels for your pickups. If one pickup is higher gain than the others, you'll have to mess around with your amp settings all the time.
For instance, I have an Epiphone doubleneck (pictured) and a strat.
The Epi has humbuckers, the Strat doesn't.
I have to change every setting on my amp AND the volume to get similar sounds from each guitar at the same sound level.]
So I'd recommend just changing your middle pickup first and see how it goes.
