Okay so i have a 94 accord, and i just got my M6 components in the mail today... and i realized that i dont think that there going to fit in the stock tweeter locations near the windsheild. Does any body have any other ideas for tweeter location ideas? I dont want to cut any holes in the doors and such.. i was thinking put them in the vents but i dont think there is any room in there...?

any ideas will be appreciated...

THANKS!!!

Try putting them on the dash near the windshield. This will give you great sound dispersion and actually help widen your soundstage. Play around with position until you find something that suits you, and hot glue them in place. They will sound very bright, so you should cut the highs on the crossover.

Place them as close as possible to your midrange. If you don't, expect your imaging to be off, some phase and frequency response problems, and a feeling of separation around the crossover frequency.

Unless you don't care about sound quality. Then do whatever.

I would say for the easiest solution for your problem, slowly use a dremel or razor blade and remove platic till your 3/4 inch holes for your stock tweets will fit your new 1 inch tweets

i agree with the 2 above posts..

place tweeter as close to the mid as possible

and it will be worth it to custom fit the tweet in the factory location...so you wont have to cut the door panel n stuff
