Default Dash speakers

Ok guys you helped me alot on the door speakers!!! Now I have a bigger question and I know its probably going to require me taking the dash off to get to them so oh well here it goes. Once again I have a 6th gen 2000 accord sedan EX V6. All speakers have been replaced (YAY!) except the ones in dash near the windshield. Anybody know the best way to get to these to replace them? Any help is once again greatly appreciated. I will get pics up soon of everything i did.

i'd say find a new location for aftermarket tweeters...... the stock location isnt the optimal place for best sound

I didn't even want to go there with the tweeters. I wonder if you could just snap away the covers off the top (probably not as that would be the easy way ) Anyway, they sound good enough for me with polk 5 1/4's in the doors. Unless you were to increase the volume on the tweeters I'm not sure they would have much of an impact anyway. They are awfully quiet compared to the door speakers. They are hooked up somehow to the front speakers, not seperately. And when you disable the front speakers manually, you can barely hear the tweeters at moderate volume. Maybe they just suck.....:shrug:

The dash tweeter grille assembly simply pries up and out. Take a cloth covered, flathead screwdriver to the edge facing you, and gently pry. The tweeter is attached to the bottom of the grille on a metal bracket. People who reuse this location tend to fit their aftermarket tweeter on the bracket with some double-sided tape to secure it.

The comment about the dash location not being optimal is absolutely correct; the windshield creates undesireable reflections. I have seen a number of installs that put the tweeter into the upper-forward door panel, and one that modified the sail panels to hold the tweeter (I'm still curious if someone could use heat to deform the sail panels to fit a tweeter; I've seen the technique successfully used with A-pillars).

Personally, I decided that a hole in my door panel wasn't worth the acoustic benefits.
