I know I'm going to get a FAIL for this without pics, but I made larger openings in the tweeter grilles and then re-covered the grille with black grille cloth. The factory grilles were HORRIBLE for sound. I'm amazed anything tweeter related got through them. Yes...I said tweeter related. Anyway, I took pics, but I haven't hosted them up yet. I'll post more next week as I'm going out of town for the weekend.
Well the MDF rings were treated, or at least the installer who did my car hifi said so. But apparently it was not good enough. :S

Hopefully these will last longer.

I really didn't have space for my tweeters in the original tweeter locations in my Lexus. However, the Lexus comes with stock mid-speakers. So I replaced those with the tweeters. Fitted perfectly.

Tomorrow (or today if time lets me) I am going to pick up some MDF and start working on the enclosure. Finally! Hopefully everything will go well or without pushbacks...
