and the tweeters are separate, obviously there's no where to mount them in any stock position. If i buy a component system without tweeters that tilt and what not, where's the best place to mount them. i was thinking of cutting into the door high up by the handle and mounting them there but i want them to project correctly.

you can mount the tweeters in your pillars at ear level .if you have power mirrors you can mount them on the mirror sail cover and like you pointed out on the door by the handle thats were o mounted mine.most high end kits come with two or three mounting attachments inset,flush and raised for the tweeters.

i just surface mounted my tweeters in the sail panel (sedan). sounds great not too loud in your ear but still audible. these are really old infinity reference.

actually i have an extra set of stock tweeter panels in great condition if you want to buy those. With a little cutting my ZR tweeters fit in them perfectly

This isn't my car, but it shows where the tweeters are mounted stock on my EX SE.

i mounted mine closer to the handle so there wouldn't be a uge gap from the curvature off the door panel. but mine are multi directional. i will recommend you get something with a soft dome silk tweeter they sound the best.

is a soft dome silk tweeter just a less harsh tweeter? i don't get it haha. i want sound quality not loud. of course i will be amping my speakers and what not so it will be loud but I'm not going to buy anything harsh sounding.

well metal tweeters get really how can i say this high pitchy silk dome is more off a smooth realistic sound.

silk dome = sound quality

i mounted my tweets here too. there's no gap from the curves.

maybe you have tiny tweeters.

If i do mount them there on the door, which is what i prefer, if they don't swivel does the sound project correctly? assuming i put them on the part of the door that doesn't curve toward me. I don't want that gap

Sound quality is what i'm going for, im about to sound deaden the crap out of this car.

Again you could mount them where they are supposed to go because i have an extra set of the stock clip in tweeter mounts, you take off yours, screw in teh tweeters to them, then clip them in. 30 bucks shipped in the upper 48.

well i usually have mine pointed straight forward like a non swivel would be it sounds the same just not as loud. i actually prefer them that way but if you have electronic mirrors then buy that guys sail panals thats what i would have done if i didn't have manual mirrors withe the adjustment stick thingy.

According to crutch field they suggest i buy 6 1/2" speakers but i'd have to buy a kick panel to mount them?.. What size speakers do you guys use?

 
Rep Power: 256

i use 5 1/2 front round and 6 1/2 rear round but i have custom plates to hold the rear components.

Custom plates?

 
Rep Power: 256

mounting plates to hold smaller components in the original 6×9 hole.

are all 7th gen civics the same size speakers?

 
Rep Power: 812

sedan has 6.5 inch all around, coupes have 6.5 front and 6x9 rear. not all types of speakers will fit, some are too big and have clearance issues in the trunk, and many front speakers need a spacer otherwise the window will hit the speaker when you roll it down.

click on the DIY in my sig for the front speakers. you'll see about using a spacer.
