Hooked up power to the deck yesterday to check out the pretty lights... damn this thing looks sweet!! I have speakers on layby so I can't wait to get my hands on them and fit them in the car.

Does anyone know if the A pillar has enough room in there to flush mount the tweeter? Has anyone got any pics of installed tweeters in the stock position? Is it just worth going and buying some "premium" sound pillar trim from a wrecker to make it look stock? (The trim that sits on the sides of the front windscreen)

I sqeezed JBL tweeters in mine mate. There's a braket that holds the orig one in, I just bent it a bit. Maybe you could get the trim and the brakets from a wreckers.

Cheers guys, how much?

Is it just an insert or the whole pillar trim?

Oh and how does the wire run down the side of the dash... is it a pain in the arse like the door grommet was? :laughing:

make sure you measure the tweeter as there isnt much room in there. The stock tweeter is very slim, there's maybe 20mm in depth, less even

Well if they dont fit I'll just mount it to the pillar itself... flush mounted it should be fine.

Cheers for the info guys! Will update again once I make some progress :wub::spoton:
