Just wondering guys... where is the best placement for a tweeter? I am going tomorrow to get prices on front speakers/tweeters, and an amp and am wondering where is the best place to put them.
Thanks everyone!

I have a set of tweeters I never got around to install, but I never wanted to make a hole in the door panel, especially not my JDM one. I wanted to install mine here:

The only problem with that location is there is no depth... and I was never good at custom fabbing things...
you've got less than half an inch to mount it since the mirror attachments are directly behind it...

The tweeters I got came with a mount, just need to have it bolted from behind.

The tweeters mine came with were pretty much just glued to the surface of that panel, so that's a possibility if you can't make it fit any other way.

I'm going by today to pay them and possibly get in today.. if not i'm going tomorrow @ 5 PM.
can't wait to get rid of the POS freebies I had.. worst speakers ever (though, better then stock lol)
edit: Oh, I'm going with (btw) a Soundstorm amp that will run Powerbass component speakers

It's pretty easy to install this stuff yourself if you want to save money.

Yeah I know I can do it myself, but they aren't going to charge me that much.. and I really don't feel like doing the wiring
they will probably do the wiring a lot better then I can (in terms of hiding it and snaking it through the doors)

well it's all done, and sounds great! I need to tweak the settings a bit more on my head unit, but so far it's great.
I'll post pics of everything tomorrow in the daylight

in my red car i had mine in the same spot as most i couldnt tell ya how it sounded becuase they where installed there when i bought the car and the tweeters sucked horrid. so i unhooked them. however im using the same door pannels in my new one so my polk tweeters will be there.
