Component speakers in a TA So I've been reconsidering my system build since I just got a TA instead of a Camaro, and I've noticed the TA has a different speaker 'pod' than the camaro that has a directional port that looks like it would fit a tweet perfectly in, my question to you guys, how have any of you gone about mounting tweeters in this location?
And just as an FYI, I am going to completely rewire the car so no worries about signal issues.

Yes, that speaker pod has a port upward towards the ears, but as far as I've seen, it doesn't do anything 'stock', just there. But I know I've seen tweeters mounted in there before somewhere on here, I just can't find that thread. Hoping someone could link me to a a how to or copy-pasta the method they've seen/used for theirs?
Thank you in advance!

i recently switched speakers and my TA there was a tweet already in there so it had mounting stuff there already but if you buy components I THINK the tweets come with mounting equipment...like a locking ring and a long U brace and nut because that is what mine came with the hifonics zues

All Trans Ams with a Monsoon system have tweeters in those door pods. You can leave the stock tweeter or replace it with one of your choice.

You have to be careful when removing the factory tweeters if you want to use the mount. There are 3 metal pieces that hold the mount in place that are difficult to remove without breaking the plastic they are attached to. You can use a screwdriver to pry them off gently. You want to pry the middle of it and not the edges until you can slide it off. Then just remove the old tweeter from the bracket which you can then screw to the pod supplied with the new tweeter. You will just reuse the metal clips to mount the tweeter.
