A-Pillar Tweeter Mod - Vendors?
Which vendors supply the modified A-pillar with built in tweeter? I've seen a few threads in the past and I'm considering improving the sound of my system a little more.

My radio is still stock, not sure if I want to open that can of worms?
I also told myself and the wife that I was done with the mods, but interested about the A pillar tweeters still
Did you talk to Dennis, I'm sure he has done it before? Someone post pics if you have any please.

I had some CNC machined tweeter pods installed in my car. They are available for different size tweeters, and can be moved around until you find the best direction sweet-spot. My installer said they are much more cost effective than doing the entire pillar, and usually sound better as well due to being adjustable. Mine were anodized black.

Although my new stereo and sub sounds a lot better than stock top down, I would still like to bring some sound up from the door speakers. I know Patches modded one of his C5s, but since then I think more vendors are offering a pre-fabbed A-pillar with the tweater speakers integrated. I will check with Dennis as I think he did start offering them.
I would also love to see some pics if anyone has them installed.

I would also recommend talking to Dennis at Double D Mods. He just might be able to help you out.

We can do them Al
I have to make 3 sets now for current orders
Leather and vinyl for options.
Vinyl is a real nice look and can be wrapped much easier in one piece

Next question...Does the dash need to be removed to remove/install the A-pillars?

no the dash can stay in place...the a pillar is clipped in...so gently pry on it till the clips pop then remove..its easier with the sun visors removed though I thought
