[QUOTE="fliptwister, post: 6446707, member: 614992"] Here are some shots to show issue with these tweeters and the sail panels. The dilemma that I have is that the factory tweeter mount that is in the sail panel is meant for a 1" tweeter. While the PPI tweeter is a 1" tweeter is does not come out of the frame. The tweeter with frame is in fact 1 3/4". Here is sail panel without spot for tweeter compared to panel with a place for tweeter: [IMG]http://www.pbase.com/flipcody/image/118871615/original.jpg[/IMG] Here is where sail panel goes. The wire that is there is wiring that was pre-installed for people to plug factory tweeter kit into. I considered mounting tweeter under the sail panel but there really no way to do it. There is just not enough space above where friction clip goes in. [IMG]http://www.pbase.com/flipcody/image/118871651/original.jpg[/IMG] Here is tweeter sail panel with PPI tweeter placed in it. It is hard to tell from picture but there is just not enough space. Even if I cut away most the plastic I don't think it could be done. [IMG]http://www.pbase.com/flipcody/image/118871672/original.jpg[/IMG] Here is non tweeter sail panel next to tweeter. After I realized the tweeter did not fit in the factory mount I was considering drilling a 1 3/4" hole at an angle and possibly fit tweeter in there.

I could drill the 1 3/4" hole and slide the surface mount in and glue it. I'm not sure how good this would work and look though...
