My sound system is currently undergoing an update and one of the things I am thinking of doing is replacing my front coax 5x7 with componet speakers. Those of you who've done this, advise where you located your tweets and crossovers. I haven't had my panels off yet to see if I can put the x-overs in the door. I am considering Diamond Audio M5 series, which have kinda large crossovers and I don't want to have to run any more wire to the door to locate the crossovers in the cab somewhere.
I've been running a 4 x 60 watt Soundstream to the front and rear speakers and a RF 150HD for a 10" JL sub. I am upgrading to a 12" RF HE2 sub, larger box, driven by a RF 360 amp. The Soundstream will remain as the other amp. Now I am checking toto other speakers. I have had several types of speakers in the rear and the best I had was a set of older RF separates.... 6" mid-bass and tweets mounted above the rear seat firing up. My current fronts are 5x7 Kenwoods which kick up very well with the 60 watt from the Soundstream.
Anyway, any input or examples for front componet speakers would be great. Thanks...

Check out the link in my sig. I mounted the crossovers behind the door panels right near the top front. I drilled a couple of holes and mounted the tweeters on the "sail" panels. Those small triangular panels. If you have any questions, just e-mail me.

Thanks Kelly for your suggestion... I ended up obtaining a set of Diamond Audio Hex components and mounted the tweets right where you did. The crossovers with these had to go to inside the door shell since there were so big but it all works great. Updated the sub with a 12 RF and a RF power 500. Added Silk dome tweets to the rear and left the 6" mids.
