Which tweeters should I get?
My system is nothing amazing (Jensen in-dash DVD/CD/MP3/TV Tuner and JL Audio 10" sub in stealth box) but I am getting some tweeter pods (the ones that replace the triangle covers on the top of the door panel) really cheap from a friend so I need some tweeters to put in them
Here's the pods I am getting:

I just ordered the audiobahn at60's, I haven't gotten them yet though. I ordered from here, $22 + $10 shipping.

Assuming those are your pods in the picture and they're already drilled, you may want to note the hole size. I had to go with the AT60's since all the other audiobahn tweeters want a 1.75" or 2" hole, and I already have 1.5" mounting holes.

I don't have the same mount you do, but you'll want to measure the diameter of your mounting hole in the panels. Then you'll probably need to look at each maker's web site for specs on the mounting hole needed. I know the 16mm audiobahn is the only one of that brand that fits a 1.5" hole that I needed, the rest were 1.75 or 2". Once you know the size that should limit your choices.
