Thanks for posting those pictures. I definitely want to be able to hide them behind the grill in the door. A couple questions for you.....

1. Did the adapter piece come with the components or where did you get it

2. What did you use to make the hole bigger?

My 2-way kappas came in yesterday and I installed them into the rear doors last night after work. The installation was a breeze thanks to some research on this forum that let me know where all the screws were before I started taking the door panel off. The sound quality coming from those speakers is unbelievable and can't wait to get the components, which should be delivered today. And then when I get paid on Friday, if the world doesn't end, then I'll be placing my order for the Kenwood DNX6190HD Nav/Bluetooth/MP3/USB/CD/DVD and then I'll have a top of the line audio system. Then, down the road, I'll be getting a dual 10" FoxBox to throw under the back seat and put some 10s in a mount the amp behind the back seat and mount a bass **** near the drivers seat. My mother-in law is getting me the front and rear WeatherTech DigiFit Floormats for Christmas, so once I get the LEDs, the entire interior will be complete; for now anyways

The reason i did mine through the grille is so they could still adjust vertically like they are susposed to.

Not having the component speakers, don't you do the adjust before they get mounted permanently? Components in the front door make sense with the speaker mount locations, but I never would have bought them with an install that has the tweeter sticking out of the grill. If it works for you, great. Didn't anyone use a dremel tool for fine cutting the plastic panel?

i forgot that the doors speakers are 2-ways and bought the tweeters separate. i used a dremel tool but i only had sanding bits. the adapters came with the tweeters.
