What size is the factory tweeter in the a-pillar?

Ah, sorry. I was asking the actual size of the tweeter. I just re-read the thread and you had mentioned those are JL C5 components which have a 3/4" silk dome tweeter, right?

That's awesome advice, Ill take a look at those now. Ill also hunt down your other thread and see what amp you are using to power them and what kind of power they see so I can hopefully achieve the same/similar as to what you have as you seemed very pleased.

The price does kind of have that effect on ya.But Techronics.com is about $200 cheaper than everyone else.The amp i'm running is a JL XD500/3,and i'm running a 10W1V2-4 single sub.I'm also on the stock headunit till this next week when my new Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH is supposed to arrive.

I mounted my crossovers on top of the kick panels so i could get to the adjustments easier.Also to pull the a-pillar off, on the driverside pull kind of inward at the TOP and when that pops loose you will unplug the tweeter then easily pull the bottom stright back.BEFORE doing that pull the weatherstrip and the end piece of the dash out because they cover the edge of the a-pillar.On the pass. side you will pull the 2 plugs loose on the grab handle and remove the 2 screws under them (7 or 8mm)and then the same as the driverside.
