Next project. Hopefully not as ridiculous as I am anticipating to install. Still need a pair of 6x9 for rear. Anyone else do components in front? Where did you put tweeters?

I got my car about a month ago. I knew the sound system was one of the first things I'd want to upgrade. Honestly, I'm blown away how good my bose sounds.

Anyways, looks like you got some good stuff! Enjoy tue sound

Before I tore mine apart, I went with 4 speakers in the front and two in the back, plus subs. I used the doors and the dash mounts. I have to say, even though the dash mounts are tiny they sound amazing bouncing off the windshield, I was really impressed, maybe mount your tweeets up there

I upgraded to a Pioneer Avic 5201 and ran 2 powered 8" Bazoka Subs in the Vert. Next week I'm putting in a set of Infinity Kappa 50.11cs in the kick panels. I'm also putting a set of the matching Tweeters in the A arm pillars.

Unless you can angle the tweeters up and out they would be wasted down there. I would go up on the top of the door panels or better yet pod mounts at the base of the A pillars.

I can't wait to see them installed. You may want to have him make up a few sets, he could probably sell them.
