id think aftermarket tweeters would come with mounting options to help you out there, I duno how they did it, but my Focal TN47s went up therewithout too much of a fuss

 

They came with mounts to mount them on a surface. There is no bottom surface in our stock locations. The stock ones are held UP by their clips to keep them from falling into the hole.

 

I actually used hot glue and haven't had any problems thus far. I also looked at the zip tie idea, but I had already hot glued them in there, so if that fails I'm going to try the zip tie.

 

^ thx for the reply man

 

Try epoxy :thumb:

 

Will i beable to remove it later if i have to? lol


I just drilled 2 more holes so there would be holes directly across the holes that are already there and tied the tweeter in using plastic string in an "X" shape. I dont know how hot tweeters get but hopefully it wont melt the plastic.

 

I just poped mine off, the focal tweeters are held on there by a zip tie arouind the circumferance of the mount circle, its held in there pretty well actually, just really jam on the zip tie I guess

 

Count down to criticisms of stock location for tweets. T minus and counting.. 7, 6, 5, .....

Couple things about the stock grills.. If you want to experiment, they're super cheap over the parts counter for an extra set.

I'd like to see someone do a top-mount attached to the grill angled forward to see how it turns out, instead of just radiating off the windshield. Some better component tweeters will have angled top-mounts for that. Not getting into wiring and crossovers or processing etc... If you're going with active tweets, one of my favorite ideas for that spot are SEAS neo's with the LPG angled mounts from madisound. Do some RS180-4 daytons or maybe mach-5 MLI-65's in the door, good active crossover... yeeehaw!

... sorry.. Haven't been lurking around here much lately. Good coffee this morning.

I did this a long time ago. It wasn't bad. The problem was the huge hump in the instrument cluster.

 

I took the stock grills out of the car, of course, drilled pilot holes in each of the surrounding brackets. I used rockford fosgate P1P tweeters, which have a flange on the outside of them, so I dremeled that off to fit snugly inside those brackets. Then I took epoxy and stuffed it in the spaces between the brackets and the tweeter, making sure that the epoxy was stuffed into those holes as well. That will secure that if the epoxy doesn't stick to either the bracket or the tweeter, that it will stay in place by the holes. That's just what I did. I don't have them hooked up at the moment, because after i got them in and got my amp hooked up I had an issue with a channel and I had to send the amp in for repairs. But off of the radio it sounds pretty good. However, I do like the idea of changing them and where they are. Maybe fiberglass some pods to face forward that are connected to the factory grills somehow for removal purposes. That was a good idea, bsbabcock.

 

yeah the stock location with the tweeter facing up is just OK

I've got an extra set of stock grills and angle mounts for my Rainbows I might try that with, but I plan on swapping these speakers out relatively soon.

 

I hot glued mine, but in the 100+ temps of so cal they fell out within a few days.

I went and bought super glue...no problems since.
