Default Tweeter & Mid in A-pillar?

I'm thinking of picking up a new set of DLS Iridium 6.3's... and was wondering if anyone has ever tried putting a tweeter and midrange speaker in their a-pillar. Kickpanels would be annoying to me and usually idiot passengers screw them up

Not under the stock door panel, but I think it would be do-able with a bit of work. I was seriously thinking about it a while back.

the IR3 mid would be way too big to build directly off the A pillars, you can do one of two options, either the way i have it here:

or you can make a mold onto the window and a semi window/dash/pillar pod. i chose this route becuase i didnt wanna block the window corners.

you may be better off with a smaller dome mid such as the morel CDM88
