If so how hard was it to do? When you replace the front tweeter, how was it. Is there any modifying?

ya. but does anyone have any pics or advice on how to take the rivited speakers out?

 

I think you just drill the rivites out.

 

Yeha, i did mine

 

would you mine telling me how you did it?

 

Take a drill witha drill bit and begin drilling out the rivits. J/k Use a spacer ring of no more than an inch in thickness to space otu your new speakers. I have helped a coworker with his tC and it was really easy. We put in Components and such. Pretty much a full on system. Look for Dulanic's post.

 

I used the SAT6 adapters from Scosche on the front components, the tweeters attached directly to the door panel.

 

if the tc speakers are anything like the xb, you can just cut the speaker magnet/cone, etc out of the hard plastic shell and re use it to space aftermarket speakers away from the door. (If you wanted to save a few bucks) (i know the factory 6.5 speakers are actually 6.75, so you will have to do something to make actual 6.5" fit)

Also use the smallest drill bit possible to drill the rivets out as it may be difficult to find real thick sheet metal screws to mount the new speakers.

 

Do you know if the SAT6 adapter works for the rear too?

I took the panel off in the rear (to uncover the speaker) and there was 3 10mm bolts holding the speaker there.

BTW I had a hard time getting the panel off... I broke a clip and crack one of the styrofoam. SHiiiiit!

 

Does anyone know the mounting depth to work with?

 

There's quite a bit of mounting depth, especially if you use a 1" spacer. I gutted the fatory speaker out of its shell like someone stated above and just re-used that with some sheet metal screws to re-attach the whole assembly to the door. I installed 6.5" Diamond Audio CM3 components - they had a 2.75" mounting depth and it was MORE than fine. If you used a 1" spacer you could probably easily install a speaker with a 4.5" mounting depth before you started having to worry about much of anything.

 

Mounting depth is about 3.75"-4".

 

Is that with or without spacers?

 

Anyone mount the tweeters differently instead of directly to the sheet metal?

Did you use adhesive to mount to the sheet metal??

 

I JB welded my tweeters to those bishes ;)

 

With the spacer.

 

Use the factory tweeter bracket, just had to bend it a little then most tweeters should be able to mount to it.
