Sweefu, that looks good, can it be as simple as drilling a hole and putting them in, or would they need to be angled and some fibreglassing involved?

There isn't enough room behind the A pillar trim to fit the tweeter, so it would have to come out a bit, probably a 9mm mdf ring would be enough. If you wanted you could cut the hole, test fit the tweeter and glue the ring in place, then use some filler / glue to fill the gap, sand it and trim it. Even with the tweeters firing straight across the dash your sound stage should be improved from tweeters in stock locations.

Ive heard nothing but good things about hifonics, they are really cheap too, im looking at getting the brs1200.1d for my subs, gonna be ordering it next few days along with some speakers, buying gear from over seas is so much better then buying in Australia

So, what about some carpet or wrapping around the A pillars ? Those Tweeters look a bit big for the factory location lol.

Yeah, you'd need to trim them in something. I like Vinyl, grille cloth or the headlining material for A pillars personally.

I don't know what i should do first, car audio or extractors/cats. I am still planning the audio setup and do want to do it right the first time.

Does anyone know a decent set from eBay? for a good price of course.
