My Stealth Install *PICS*
I decided I want a better sound system but I wanted to retain the stock look as much as possible and also not break my bank. This is what I ended up with.
Amp: Alpine MRP-M350
Sub: JL 10w1v2.4
Box: Custom made
HU: Alpine CDA-9886
Speakers: Alpine SPS-600c components

Was it hard to install the tweets in the A-Pillar? Did you use any tutorial that showed you how to take it apart? I will be installing my tweets in a-pillar and any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
edit: also, what do you think what is the max size tweeter that could fit in stock a-pillars?

They are good for the system that I have, not a real high end system but still far better than stock. If I wanted to put another 4 channel amp for the components then I would have gotten the type R's but my type S's are just being powered by the HU so its good for what I have.
No is was pretty easy just be careful when you take them out because I chipped off the top corner of it when I was taking it out (you can't tell cause there's a peice of rubber blocking it). It was pretty easy I just read the tutrial on how to take off the door. I wouldn't go too much bigger than the alpine type S (i think 2in) as it is, its bigger than the plastic housing but you can only tell if your looking for it.

can you please check the exact size of the tweeter with the housing? the speakers that i'll be getting, focal 165 k2p have 1 3/4" tn52 tweeter per woofersetc.com
also... how do they sound in that location?

the difference in sound between the a pillar and the sail is drastic, the a-pillar wins hands down
the tweets for the typle s is 1"

Nice install OP looks great. I bet it sounds very nice as well.
Drill out the holes in the stock speaker grill or search to find the speaker grill fix and you will get a ton more sound out of your midbass. Grats on a nice system .

Ya I read that, drilling out the holes but I didn't have the patience to do it. Any other easy, cheap options?

Thanks, I went to Car Toys and a guy there custom made it for me, and for cheaper than the wicked CAS corner box too! Only took him a day and a half to do

interesting mod.
so can this mod does actually improve the sound quality of the stock tweeter? does it become more clear sounding??
does the tweeter "grill" actually have holes or are the holes not really open on the stock grill? (not sure if that made any sense)

no, the grill mod has nothing to do with the tweeter at all
its about removing restrictive material from in front of your mid range/ mid bass
tweeters in the sail panels sound harsh

again, how about not going component, and instead using non-component speakers?

Read the multiple threads on a-pillar tweeter set up and there seem to be no clear-cut answers. some like it, others don't, but i think either way it should sound better than stock position, no??
