If your looking to do something like that then just get a good pair of coaxils, if the flush mount install is done correctly they look pretty darn good, anytime you are doing a component set it is going to sound better. Components are made to have different frequencies going to the mid and tweet, for best sound quality. If your not wanting to cut holes just get a good set of coaxils.

Are you getting a set of components? Or just the tweeters?

yeah im pretty much set on getting a set of infinity reference 6.25 shallow coax.

am i thinking that a 5.25 might be better up front if i dont care about bass since i think it will be better for mids and highs? im thinking ill just get the bass from the rears which have 6.5" reference non-shallow speakers.

i like reference model because of the low sensitivity and i dont want to bother with installing an amp either. just more stuff to get stolen and torn up....

just put two 1/4" screws through the back of the tweeter basket into the cover. the white plastic part is a screw on screw off cover that allows the tweeter to rotate once mounted

Why not just buy a speaker bar? Crutchfield has them, quality is great, look subttle and it's an easy install.

For $150??? No thanks. A decent set of components would sound so much better.

A component set comes with tweeters, mid bass drivers and crossovers. Its everything you need.

awesome place. best range in my opinion. I heard speakers by the front dash sound like razors in your ears with the highs. I went into a car with that set up and boy was he right. 5 minutes later. The sideview mount seems best. happpy tuning

I had a clarion speaker bar in my Grand Am a few years ago. No razors here. I suppose it all depends on the quality of the speaker setup, and if the were designed/adjusted to actualy work from that position.

Op, I suppose with the component set and the speaker bar you would have a nice combination. As for you search for the tweeter mount, just use the hole saw in the door panel. Its gonna be you easiest, most affordable, less label intensive way to mount them.

That's not true, there are a variety of ways/places to mount tweeters and still get excellent imaging. For what he is wanting, I would get a good set of coaxes with tweeters you can position differently.

However, in reference to the picture with the factory tweeter pods on the first page, the tweeter is too far back on the panel, positioned incorrectly and is probably too low.
