Big Thanks to Double D mods!!
Just installed some new audio equipment from Dennis at DoubleD. Truly amazing new sound 
and the customer service couldn't have been better.
Now running:
Kenwood DNX9960 HU
Kenwood XR-5S amp
Focal 165 kr2x components
Focal 27kx sub in back with a stealth box
I put dynamat xtreme in the doors and the entire back. Also have Vette Nuts (formerly Madvette) foam/heat barrier throughout. Still working on tweet placement (should've bought 3M stock a long time ago).
...and no, I don't have pics. I've been a little busy putting this all together in just two days.
Again, a huge thank you to Dennis for making this all possible.

I am installing a set of Focal PS 165 door speakers too in my GS.
My OEM system was the standard non-Bose Delco audio system.
The easiest place I found to put the tweeters was just about where the OEM 3" speakers was:
In fact, to make this install easy, I am just going to mount the 2 crossover boxes that come with these speakers right here below the 6.5" woofer:
I can't see any reason to mount these crossover boxes way back to where my amp will be mounted.

For mounting the tweeter, get some 1/4" MDF at Home Depot and cut out a square the same size as your oem twiddler, then cut a hole in the middle of it to use the flush mount tweeter housing. It will mount in the exact same bolt holes as the original speaker.
Here are a few pics of the one I made for the 3-way active setup I'm working on....

Tweeter install: either make your own speaker baffles or buy baffles from nakidparts or RAAMaudio.
Crossover install: you would be much better off installing them in the cavity above the passenger floor board. You can adhere them using 3m dual lock velcro tape. I have pica of this location in my install thread.

Sorry buddy, we all know you have outstanding service and prices. When I get a head unit I would not consider getting it from anyone else. I was just responding to Turbo6TA's questions which probably belong in their own thread... Also did not know you have baffles.
