[QUOTE="georobu, post: 1481913, member: 563522"] I've tried tweeters b4 in the stock position, but that's honestly the worst. Other than moving the soundstage far and lifting it It does nothing for you, especially with metal dome tweets deflecting off the windshield. I gave up on that install a year ago. Next I mounted them in the lower part of the dash, near the woofer-->excellent blend with the mids (changed this install too due to the fact that I was constantly covering the tweeter with my leg). I can't do fiberglass pods either since I drive stick shift, so the only option was the regular flush mount high up on the door panel. I whish I could install them in the little plastic piece near the window sill or the pillars like you said but I lack skill for such things. Note: tweeters are very deep, u will need to do a lot of work to get them just right. As far as woofers go, I removed all factory mounting pieces, dynamated the door twice, isolated the openings with carpet backing, customly made a 1 inch spacer mdf,glued it to the speaker basket and secured it with screws, and cut the door panel (6 inch opening) to minimize sound deflection (looked getto at first but now it looks decent, and above all I get clear sound).
