When I did my system about a year ago I could not find a-pillar pods to fit my oversized tweeters so I took a friends advice and put the tweeters inside the vents with L brackets and I could not be happier. It sounds great and looks Stock.

you dont need pods.. I mounted my tweest directly in the a pillar, looks factory and the sound is where it needs to be now instead of having the tweets blaring straight into your face

Got mine from dj sexay (or something like that) back when there was an fbodyaudio forum. I don't believe he makes them anymore though.

Mount them facing each other just above the dash. Taking pics now... I really think you guys will like it.
It much improves the sound stage

how would you make them? Oh yeah, and I thought about putting them in the pillars already but one of my triangles broke so I am going to have to do something anyways with that area

Fiberglass and hobby shop plywood. Use the plywood to make the "face" (front where the tweeter mounts), epoxy it onto the triangle panel (use a factory panel as your base), then use fiberglass to "wrap". Takes more time to design than build.

These are in my Silverado (don't have pics of the Camaro ones). I made them about 2 years ago (want to remake them some time....life keeps getting in the way).

Sure they are $75 a pair. The flush mount cup that the tweeters come with should have an overall diameter of 2" or less or these pods won't work. Most tweeters have seemed to work though.

takes him about 2 weeks to make them


96LT4 had a set for sale that he no longer needed right now too

I just got mine and the fit and finish is awesome,
fiberglass light weight but very sturdy
