Mounting Rainbow Tweeters And Crossovers In Front Doors

What is the best way to mount the tweeters that come with the Rainbow SLC265 Kicks in the front doors of an 07 Supercrew? I am wanting to use the stock tweeter locations.

Does anyone sell brackets that will work?

Where is the best location to mount the crossovers?

Thanks!

Since nobody has answered yet. You can search rainbows and tweeters and see what everyone has done here.

From what I recall they are mounting the tweeters in the factory tweeter locations using hot melt glue. The crossovers are getting behind the dash or somewhere else. Looks at F150's install here:

thats me....
Yes, you can look in my gallery, I mounted the x-overs under the door panel. But I was pressed for time... I would recommend mounting them on the back wall for ease of getting to them. I would also recommend "playing" with the tweeter location, I more than likely going to move mine to the bottom of the "A" pillows for better imagining firing to the windshield... My front stage is a little lower that I like...Could also mount them on the door panel on the mirror cover part, but I hate to cut the panel there.... Pillows are way cheaper to replace than door panels if you sell the truck...
