I would love to see some more options. I always put mine in the sail panel though aimed a little off axis towards center of car.

i got a couple siliconed in the door handle area pointing at opposite seats in my Honda. been to lazy to fiberglass some pods there for them. this is i. my 2000 accord. cam get pics tomorrow. they sound pretty good there need a hu with t/a to fine tune it. thinking about 2 tweets were the one is. a 8" in the doors factory spot and two more 2-3" mids pointed at opposite seat. but like i said been lazy and haven't glassed them in yet.

If you want to keep it simple, use the sails.a little more complicated,flush mount them somewhere on your door panel.much more complicated,build pods for them

I like this config, its not as high as I would like them, but it gets the job done, i just drilled 2.25" holes in my door cards and slapped the mounting cups in

honestly the best way is place the tweets in a bunch of spots and listen. You can get general ideas looking at other install but some tweets like on axis vs off axis. Some will sound better down in the door panel when others like higher up. It looks like you are running the CDT tweeters with that extra image tweeter, I think that likes to be mounted up high on axis but other can tell you better.

I mounted mine in PVC end caps & put the caps on my A-pillars. I painted the caps black to match my interior. I got the idea from this thread over at diyma.

Like we discussed, you should decide if you will use WS-100i and HD-100 or cut it back to just one pair of tweeters. If you use both you should move HD-100 close to the CL-6 woofer in the door. WS-100i should be reduced in level to not draw attention to their locations. You could set this up without spending any money, or very little. Depending on where the crossovers are mounted you may have to run 1 pair of 18 awg speaker wire into each door for the tweeters.

Yes, I did.

I think the suggestion of playing around with different locations is good. That way you can find what works best for your system.
