Question Tweeters

I have had some old tweeters lying around, and I was wondering the best way to mount them in my car.....(cheapest, easiest, and least time consuming) I just wanted some imaging so i could actually make out the words.

Hey there Protzero! Are these "raw drivers"- just tweeters, no mounting brackets or grills? How about crossovers? Are they car audio or home audio? Would you know how many ohms?
In General, unless they are manufactured by the same company who did the drivers you will be using them with, and the crossover is designed to be used with the drivers and the tweeters, you may not get much of a sonic match between them.
You could use them for out of phase ambient tweeters-

Tweeters

Dave,
They are Jensen car tweeters, 100w max, 4 ohm, with mounting bracket and grilles.
I just want to know how I could mount them in the easiest way in my 93 pro lx.
I Was thinking of pods but I don't know where to find them

The mirror panels? Spliced into the front speaker wiring?

That's what I did until I bought a component set. I had a cheap pair of Kenwood tweeters (the kind with the little cap inline to cut out the bass and midrange).

It's a cheap little upgrade, but it's effective. If they fit, use the mirror panels - or else drill a hole in the door if they can be flush mounted (I'd recommend the mirror panel idea, tho - a LOT cheaper to replace than the door panels if you ever decide to remove the tweeters).
