where did you cut your rear tweeter too? and was it a direct fit for 6.5 or did you have to use brackets?

I'm running 1" tweeters off of an amp. They're mounted on the A-pillar. I'm running 6.5" for midrange which is also getting its own amp.

Nothing. OEM tweeter is still there. No reason to touch it since it's not connected. There is a grill to cover the OEM speaker so nothing looks out of place.

any speaker you have to fabricate a adapter for, I used MDF and fabricated an adapter. The rear tweeter is cut into the upper part of the back door towards the front but angled back to the rear seats.

Why Alpine? What are you going to power the speakers with and what headunit will you be utilizing?
