Default Am I the only one who put actual tweeters in the dash corners?

I replaced my dash corner stock tweeters with Rockford Fosgate tweeters. Not 4" 2-way speakers like everyone else has. There is no way to mount these but they sound good


These are the tweeters I purchased: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_575R1TS...-S.html?tp=107


Used butt connectors to attach to the stock harness and I have the tweeters resting on top of the grill cover via a friction hold with the speaker wires and the cover. They don't look bad and they sound good, so I'm not worried but I do feel stupid for not ordering 4" 2-way's like everyone else.


The door speakers and rears have been replaced with Rockford Fosgate's already so there is plenty of sound.

use plumber strap or back strap to make a bracket/bridge to hold the speaker in place
