    I'd mount them in the stock location, right behind where the side mirrors mount to the door:



    Or, if you don't mind cutting into the dash, put them right above the defroster vents, that's the stock location for the tweeters on 9G's and a whole lot of other cars:



    You could even put them low in the pillar plastic too, I've seen plenty cars put them there too.

    Hope this helps!

    I would mount them on the dash so the sound reflects off the windshield and fill up the whole car. I mounted mine to my door panels, and its too loud sometimes.

    I would recommend stock location. Where the side mirrors are. I mean if the sound is too loud you can reduce the treble in the sterio. There is a reasone why they put em there.

    I'd recommend them in the stock location too. I wouldn't get those SSL tweeters though. They appear to be flush mount only, which would be a problem for that location and SSL stuff is... well... shit. I've had some of their stuff and pulled it out of my car immediately after installing it.

    unless you have tweeters up front already, putting tweeters on the rear deck would absolutely ruin staging and imaging. tweeters (and midrange drivers) sare directional so putting them behind you w/o any front tweeters (and midrange drivers) would make all the music seem like it's coming from behind you. subwoofers can b placed anywhere (space needed of course) because they are omni directional, meaning your ears can not "locate" them, so they do not adversely affect imaging and staging.
