Default 2013 Pillar Tweeter dimensions

Anyone know what the cutout diameter and available depth is for the factory pillar tweets?
I'm looking at some specs and about the smallest I can find are:
1) Kicker 11KS13
2) JL Audio TR050
3) Infinity XREF-075tx
All listed as 1 5/8" diameter and range in depth from 5/8" to 13/16"

(also: JL Audio C5075-CT 1 9/16" diameter, 5/8" depth)

Will any of these work (I'd prefer not to do any cutting).

I got a set of JL Audio C5 components,and they are 1.5" in diameter,and the hole is like 1.48".With that said a little sandpaper inside the hole,and they will drop rite in.You can look up the specs for the Jl components,and you'll find the C5's are the smallest tweeters they offer.Also the speakers are awesome! it doesn't make any difference if your running off the stock headunit,or going all out,i highly recomend them.Also check Techronics.com for your best price on them.

Hey thanks!
I ran into those at Techronics while googling yesterday. They look super nice (should be for the price). I noticed the sensitivity is 90.5 and I had planned to stay with the stock HU, but you think that will drive them OK? (I don't really like to shake the neighborhood, but I want it clear and strong). I was thinking of throwing a set of Infinity 8602CFX's in the back, and maybe an underseat powered sub IF that doesn't give me enough bass.

I ran mine with the stock headunit at first,and was amaized at the difference! I then added the JL 500/3 amp,Pioneer headunit,and 10W1 sub and it's awesome. They have really good bass,but a sub is nice as well.

Does anybody know where I can get the pillars. I have a 2010 and I would love to get my hands on the pillars in the 2013's so I can install some tweeters.

I've seen them on ebay. Do a search. The ones I've seen run new about $120 to $150 a side.

For that price I would mount the tweeters in the triangle spot of the trim

I am trying to make it look as stock as possible. I figured if I could get the pillars cheap enough I could make it look like the truck came with them from the factory.

Well, that was new. I've seen used for considerably cheaper.
