I've finished purchasing all the components for my stereo in the teener. I think it's going to be AWESOME when I've finished it.

Aiwa detachable face CD

Aftermarket 6.5 inch speaker panels

6 inch bass tube (I shortened it from 22 inches to 14 inches, to fit snug up under the passenger side dashboard

Clarion 6.5 inch component speakers (comes with 2 crossovers, and 2 tweeters to separate high and low frequencies)

If you've ever heard a set of component speakers in a car, they are AWESOME...... but here's my question:

Where do I mount the 1-inch tweeters?? They should be about the same distance from your head as the 6.5's.... so has anyone done this yet??

I thought about the doors, but the window cranks get in the way.

I thought about the dash, but its too small, curvy, and cluttered with vents, knobs, etc.

Maybe the sides of the center console??

Suggestions?? Help??

Heres a pic of my interior (before any stereo upgrades)... not that it matters... everyone else's interior looks the same--LOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
