Default Speaker mounting question

First off let me say because I just recieved my shipment from Dennis at Double D.

My question is I have Focal PS-165 for the front and PS-130 for the rear( I know but I like a little rear fill).

Where is the best place to mount the tweeters in the rear? Any suggestions?

One other question is there any place to mount the crossovers behind the rear panel for the 130's, because I have never had the rear panel off.

Would you mount all 4 crossovers in the same spot so you could adjust them.

I have the same speakers from our buddy Dennis, but I have a vert, so am mounting the tweets through a hole in the partition. I could suggest a mount, but someone with a coupe should chime in, check with MarkCZ. Is there extra grill space so they can mount next to the 130's, or can you drill a 1.6875" hole in the side panels for them? Good luck ...

I appreciate the input and will wait for others to chime in as suggested.

You can drill big holes and flush mount the tweets, or drill 2 small ones to surface mount them.

If it were my car I'd probably just use the 5" and skip the tweets.

There should be room behind & below the speakers for the crossovers.
