RE: Plate speakers

["Neal Tovsen" <ntovsen@piper.hamline.edu>]

Man, sign me up! If it's as simple as you say, PLEASE post the instructions!
I'm not worried about bass, since I have a 10" sub in the back, but I would
really like some quality mids and highs in front. If they fit as easily as
you say, that would be really cool.

I know some people had this discussion before, but where did you decide to
mount the tweeters?
