The C5 has a 8" and a 3.5 driver in each door. Here is a picture of what I replaced mine with. Several guys here have done simular set ups and several have installed the tweeters in the door pulls or on the pillar.

Here"s a pic of how I mounted my CDT speakers and tweeters in the door.
Custom mounting plate made by forum member "vrumvrum" to mount my 6.5."
Mounted the tweeters in door handles like several other members have done.
