[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7496742, member: 576029"] note that that door panel costs upwards of $400 to replace and you are doing permanent damage. not to mention that i have never liked that location for tweeters anyway. i've seen a lot of hacked up door panels and they always reduce resale value and aesthetics. using that location, i think the best way to make it look good is to use a hole saw to make a perfect hole that is the exact same size as the outside diameter as the tweeter. then simply get the tweeter to slide in the hole and have the grill flush with the panel. your tweeter should already have a grill, and more grills = sound attenuation and diffraction which make tweeters sound worse. if the tweeter didn't have a grill already, you could use flat grill mesh and cut/form to a perfect circle (basically make cuts around the outer edge and bend down to make a lip. then glue the new grill in place so the result is a flush grill. paint grill to match. get the tweeter as close as possible to the grill, but seal with foam. sounds like you'll try the micro perf hole idea. after that doesn't look good, you can drill out a circle and try this.
