Default Tweeters in the A-Pillar?

Do you guys have a tweenter in your A-Pillar? I do not.

I bought an A-Pillar Gauge Pod and it has a tweeter hole.

I haven't, but it sounds plausible. You'll probably get a better response in the "Audio/Electronics Forum." Good heads there.

I've got Bose tweeters on the A pillars of my SRX DD and it fills things out nicely . . . the Vette just sounds better since I disconnected the dash center speaker . . . .

Are you certain its a tweeter hole, and not a microphone hole (for onstar/nav)?

I put tweeters in my A-pillar on my C5. It was the perfect place for a tweeter because the high frequencies bounce off the windshield and provides excellent clarity. It was a convertible and it's nearly impossible to hear anything on the stereo with the top down.

If it's on the top of the pillar it's a microphone hole for the Onstar / Nav voice commands.
I know this because my car had neither when I bought it, upgraded to the bose Nav , and had to add the mic. I bought the mic and drilled the hole myself though.
if you do not have Onstar or Nav in your C6 , you can possibly buy a pillar without the hole, it's an option .

Bingo. That's it!
