    Np man, glad to help!

    if you really wanna make it look cool, cut out the stock grill on the door, and place the grill that comes with alpine over the hole, and use longer screws to hold it in, it looks sick! I spray painted mine with chrome paint and you get this ;]

    Again, excuse my audio noobness.

    There's been many successful installs where tweeters were part of kick panels but the image and sound is in the windshield. Science can really screw up perceptions in a big way sometimes. It's all about the methods used with your install.

    that looks a little dark for chrome paint, more like a gun metal. Either way I'm honestly going to do EXACTLY that with mine, it looks sick!

    YES!!! omfg yes, srry but you have no idea how long ive been looking to see if someone has put after market grills on the door panels. Okay im definetly going to put the Polk audio grills on in place of the old grills, especially since the bose will be gone since im pulling the amplifier and either pulling or covering the factory wires with hushmat since they will be disconnected or turned off anyway. As for ideas on speakers edagimo it looks like you went shopping at best buy. All good parts even though I don't like how kickers look.
