Hi! i have recently fitted a set of Pioneer components to my car but i only fitted the mid cone for now.

I wana fit my tweeters behind the door card where the original ones went, does anyone have any tips on how to do this? i tried just puttin them in but they just rattle about! was a bit reluctant to glue em in coz i dont wana fook em lol

did you get a moutning fitment with your tweeters?

i cut the grill out with a dremmel then used the moutning that came with infinities which points the tweets to your ears for a better sound
