I couldn't find my close-ups of where mine are mounted, but if you look closely, you can see mine mounted in the black triangle trip piece right above the door panel. They're .75" MB Quart tweets and I was able to flush mount them there.

That's a nice spot the tweeters. How do they sound there.

the tweeters aren't separated in the camaro like they are in the trans am--from the factory they are fixed to the center of the rest of the coaxial speaker, which isn't helpful when you purchase aftermarket components that have the tweeter separated.

honestly i wanted to do the simplest thing possible and screwed mine straight into the door above the speakers themselves. they stayed put solidly for 6 years and sounded great and looked inconspicuous, too. in fact my car was broken into a few months back and the components and tweeters were the only part of the stereo that was not stolen.

The tweeters in the camaro are seperated at least in the 98 camaro. The tweeter is seperated but sits just atop the mid bass speaker(in the front doors), glued together.

heres a picture from my cardomain page, click on link below. You can see the tweeter and the other speaker has the tweeter glued in place to the midbass.

Before this becomes an argument, you're both right. The tweeters in Camaro doors are electically separate components but are physically together ("glued together" means "aren't separated").

I would still say they are seperate because they have independent positive and negatives and you can litterly seperate the tweeter(as the picture shows) and place the tweeter else where, away from the mid bass speaker.

"independent positive and negative" = "electically separate commponents".

I mounted mine on the very top of the a piller facing toward the center of the car. Wires are hidden behind the plastic, can't even tell they are there and sounds awesome.

i simply meant they do not have a place to be mounted on the door like the trans am tweeters do, since they are mounted directly onto the speaker housing itself. most component speakers are more like the trans am design and are comprised of two separate housings.
