Do his tweeter pods need to be cut out 1" for the type r component tweeters to fit? I think they come un-cut or with a 1 3/4 hole.

Cool that sounds easy. Is there a certain hole cutting bit? Ive seen ones for wood that attach to the drill. I was also going to cut a hole in the sheet metal in the back seat for components as well. I'm having a difficult time finding the dimensions for the Alpine Tpe R tweeter with mounting cup.

Thanks guys! I thought the fit and finish would be a little nicer. Can sides be sanded at all? Also will the strip of foam that was there before still fit in the crack between the pod and door panel?

Those look like crap the finish isnt the same as the stock plastics and theres a huge gap at the bottom it just looks unfinished to me.

Just drill the hole to mount them lower than the ones in the pic...

Of course the finish isn't same as stock plastics, stock plastic is injection molded, these are thermal formed.

Injection molded I would have had to charge $300+ for the pair... Thermal form I charge $75 for the pair right now...

So in the screw hole area we can drill through the top portion instead of dead center and the pod will sit lower?

You just put the tweeter pod exactly where you want it, use a small drill bit to drill through the pod (where there is already a recession for the screw) into the metal then screw it on.
