If you replaced your system with a component system and could not put the new tweeters in the stock location, where did you put yours? Pics? |

IF I had not put the tweeters in the OEM location then they would have been mounted in the A-Pillar. |

Did yours fit in the OEM location or did you have to do some mods? I just got the Polk component system (still in UPS' hands right now though) and Crutchfield said the tweeters won't fit in the stock location. |

I have a set of Alpine's that I have mounted in the factory location. I was strapped for materials at the time so I took the factory tweeter and gutted it. I cut the magnet supports off so I was left with a somewhat round hole to mount the aftermarket tweeter in. It worked well. |

I used metal strapping with holes in it. Any car stereo shop will have it and a good hardware store should have it. Great stuff. |

The factory location is the #1 worse location from and audiophile standpoint. That being said, plumbing strap will do fine for the job. |

Where would be the ideal location for tweeters, in the KJ? |

There is a fine line between security and sound. No car audio system can compare to a properly setup home system. I have heard and built $100,000 systems and when you have a demo car then security is not an issue(sometimes). Securing a DD is different. You have to find a middle ground. |

Okay, I am just stressed on this. Crutchfield said I would need either a T-20 torx or 5mm to get the window trim (oh crap handles) screws out. It later says I will need the 5mm socket since I have a 2004. Well, someone is completely wrong or Renegades are special. I find out that, after trying 5mm, 6mm, 1/4, 3/8 (I went and bought nut driver sets to do this since you can not get a standard 3/8" drive socket set that deep into the handles), that the size is 7/32" just by oddly getting one screw out using the 6mm after a lot of headache and near stripping, then taking the screw to all of my sockets and finding the 7/32" fitting. Well, like I said, you can not get a standard socket in there. Too deep. I have to find a nut driver that size now. The SAE set I bought did not have that size. I'll work on this when I get back from my trip. Spent too much time trying to figure this screw size out. I have to get my place cleaned up and packed for my trip. I did get the Head unit in last night. Kenwood Excelon KDC-X492(USB/Aux in front, XM & Sirius - ready) |

2006 used a deep well 5 or 6mm 1.4 drive socket and worked like a champ. |

Although it's not ideal, the stock location is just fine. I have won alot of sound quality competitions with my tweeters there. I cut and modified the OEM speaker cage to hold my tweeters.

Not on my 06 as it was plastic one piece holding the tweeter. |

Can someone post some more pictures of this... I know I've got the horrid Infinity system and all, but I really want to get a new pair of tweeters |
