2018 Ford F150 Tweeter Size

Does anyone know if the Audiofrog GS10 will fit behind the A pillar factory mount? I realize that I would have to modify the area it sits in but just making sure I wasn't forced to do a surface mount.

Thanks for any input

Any 1" tweeter should fit no problem.

No issues at all fitting.

Thanks for the replies. To follow up with modification can the GB15 fit behind the OEM factory tweeter location in a 2018 F150? Looks too big but wasn't sure.

Too big. The grill isn't large enough to benefit from the larger tweeter.

I think they will fit. We are only talking 1/2 inch difference. If using strap it should have zero issues. There is a ton of space behind the cover. A lot of the OEM tweeter space is plastic mount parts that aren't even necessary.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one.

There is actually a fair amount of space there. I got a CDT 2" driver (ES-02) to fit using factory methods. Looks stock! I run it from 800 and up on a 24db LR filter.
