Default Where the heck do I put the tweeters in a 94 accord???

I want to get some infinity 605cs components but I don't know where I could fit the tweeters. I was thinking the black sail piece covering up the outside mirror wires, but it would be a very tight fit. Any suggestions? If possible, it would really help to hear from someone with these types of speakers and a 94-95 accord. Pics help too.

Well the triangle piece is a good place, and maybe you can custom make that?
I'm not an expert in sound though hehehee...

I put my tweeters there. I have an EX and originally wanted to replace the stock tweeters by the corners of the windshield. But, there isn't really a lot of room to work up there so I just left them in, even though I can't hear them anymore.
Anyway I have one on each side and they are angled into the car. Just popped the black triangles off and drilled a hole through each to screw into a mounting bracket. They are not the best tweeters, but they are only about 1.5 - 2 inches wide and fit nice......sound great too.

In the top of the door panel... just infront of the handle is a great place if the tweeters have a flush mount option (most tweeters do)

or, if you can find a way to mount them to the sail panel and make them look good... maybe some fiberglass and vinyl so everything looks stock... but if you are unable to do that by yourself, it gets expensive.

I would really like to put them there but what kind of tool do you use to cut perfect circles for the flush mounting?

take a hole saw of proper size... hold it in place where you want the tweeters... then carefully cut around the hole saw with an xacto knife or something else really sharp, just to get through the vinyl, that way when the saw starts to turn, it dosent tear or pull the vinyl... then finish the hole by using the hole saw in a drill to go through the panel...

Do this with the panels off the door too.
