depends where you wnat to mount them. When I used to do installs I used alot of metal strapping to custom mount tweeters.

I would reccommend maybe fiberglassing over your stock mirror covers or something. ot that extent. or if you have confidence in makeing a clean cut in your doors go for it. I always used this super stong hot glue and mixed it with superglue to get the tweeters to stick to the stapping. Just don't breath it in because it is toxix when you mix the 2 glues. as for connecting just extend the wires.

If you don't want to run them as coax and want to move the tweeters you have a few options. You can mount them in the door and make your own strapping to hold them in. You can mount them in the sail panel, if you have a coupe you can get the oem tweeter pods. However you would have to take the mirror adjusting stick out and would ahve to adjust the mirrors by hand unless you installed power mirrors. Or you could put them in the A-pillars. Can you aim the tweeters when they are running as coax?

extending wires etc is fine. im just confused on how to mount the fracking things. sigh . lol.

you can get them from your local honda dealer or try majestic honda. You need the ones from an ex. Another option you could try is using back strapping to mount them in front of the woofer. Thay way you can aim them.

you probably want to call them to check just to make sure.
