Where and how do these tweeters get mounted? Do I have to drill a hole out for them in the door panel somewhere?

The tweeter is mounted separately from the 6 inch speaker. You do have to drill a hole to mount them to the door, dash or anywhere you want. It mounts flush and the tweeter can tilt to aim the sound. These are great for cars already configured with remote mounted tweeters by the manufacture like a Mercedes. The kit comes with universal mounts.

I actually didnt put in these tweeters I left the factory ones in. It would have been a lot of work and really theres not a whole lot of difference. U wont blow the factory tweeters either I have 75 watts going to each speaker in my car its the low frequencies that blow the speaker and that wont reach the factory tweeters. But if u do want to put them in there are different ways too. Its personal preference. Either in the door somewhere sail panel or dash. Idk if your car has tweeters already or not. If it doesnt I would look for speakers with the tweeter in them aready not componet speakers. Its all personal preference.

Yes you have to drill a hole somewhere on your door panel to install the tweeters.

My car had tweeters in the front doors already so it was easy to replace them with the new set as they were the same size. But I bought Two sets of these speakers one for the front and one set for the back doors the woofers fit both the front and the back. the back doors I chose to drill holes for mounting the tweeters which for my car was easy to do because the door skins are plastic and had a good flat area to mount them. They also come with hardware to surface mount them as well but you would have to figure out the best way to run the wire. The tweeter wires get connected to the larger speaker. By the way these speakers sound great. I replaced the stereo as well with a JVC unit.

For my truck, it had stock tweeters so all I had to do was mount them in the same holes. If you don't have stock tweeters, you may have to cut holes.

Yes, a seperate hole is required. I mounted mine high up on the door, near the front of the car.

These speakers are great because they don't any bracket or be near a stud or ceiling joist. Cut the hole using the template and you push the speakers into the drywall opening, then just screw the retaining flanges snug. A grill gets put on top. Easiest install - they can go anywhere you've got wire run.

They have key hole brackets on the back of all the speakers. You can hang them on screws or nails.

They have mounting holes in the back and on the bottom of the speakers. The logo can be flipped over. I mounted them from the ceiling and it turned out very nice.

I drilled a hole in the ceiling, and mounted my surround rear speakers up high on the walls, so you can't see the wires. I don't think you need to drill a hole in either the metal mounting plate and/or the plastic mounting plate cover even if you put your wires through the wall.

First you have to find a suitable place to mount the crossover. I mounted them inside the door panels using 2 sided tape. Whether your using an amp or the head unit the speaker wires coming from the source(amp or head unit) get connected to the input + & - on the crossover. Then you run the wires from the + & - woofer terminals on the crossover to the + & - terminals on the driver(woofer). Finally you run the wires from/the + & - tweeter terminals on the croosover to the + & - wires on your tweeters. It's pretty straightforward once you find a good mounting location for the crossovers. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined & patient you should be alright.

The package is a pair of tweeters. There are also two styles of mounting brackets; a) trim rings for 'near' flush mount as the tweeters have a domed mesh metal covering, b) brackets for surface mounting which puts the tweeters about 1-1/4" above the surface. Each tweeter has attached leads with the 'bass blocking' crossover capacitor built in.

All you need is a hole in the drywall the size of the speaker and about an inch clearance all around the hole for the speaker-hook-grab-arms to swing out the pull on the inside of the drywall for the secure mount. i.e. can't install upagainst a stud. ---Dale

No, there are no mounting holes. The bass port is on the back so you wouldn't want to flush mount them. They DO sound great however. They are the best inexpensive speakers I've ever owned, and they do not sound inexpensive.

I fit them in the front doors of my old Tahoe. I hade to use the factory housing, it will take a bit of pressure to remove it safely and properly. Without the housing the speaker is too small.

There is NOT a factory cut out on the enclosure for mounting, BUT if you get creative you can remove the woofer with an Allen head wrench and drill through the back of the speaker and use two wall anchors per speaker and mount them. The tweeter comes out too for a more secure mounting if you are creative. Good luck.

I have them installed in a 07 subaru wrx. While my doors have tweeters built in to the doors,( right by the door handle), I was not able to use this location due to the size difference. I chose to mount them on the a pillar instead. Worked out fine with no issues and as it turned out, I like them there.

To avoid cutting the wire that connects the main speakers, to install this you'll probably need an adapter that converts the two speakers outputs in four - can get very cheap adapter on Amazon, specifying the make and model of your vehicle - or just cut the wire that connects to the main speakers. You just have to decide where you will place the tweeters.

They mount atop of a subwoofer box and then the upper portion mounts your top speaker. You obviously need a subwoofer (compatible with most brands) otherwise this will not work and you will need a tri-pod mount.

Not sure. Installed them in a 99 Tahoe. All I needed was self drilling screws. And adapt the wires. The tweeters are a different mount than stock. Will not fit in the same mounts. I removed them from their housing and plastic welded them to the underside of the factory bracket. Sounds good.

To install door speakers you need to find out the Mac mounting depth of your door. Compare that with the mounting depth of the Polk speakers. Also you will need to drill new holes, so make sure you have a drill bit set and a drill.

Speaker depth was an issue, these have a huge magnet... Also you may have to drill custom holes for the tweeters.
