[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8851006, member: 674149"] If you can mount those in that triangle area that's a great spot. I'm sure you've seen the factory BOSE A-pillars where they had the tweeter mounted in the pillar which makes install incredibly easy and clean. You might be able to find em at a pick n pull yard, (but they go quick, and fools always break em), or on ebay. Some have complained about those having the signal bouncing off the windshield. How would you get those to mount on the triangle? As long as the dash and pillar don't interfere when closed. You might also be blocking the speaker. Getting em in the triangle to fit and sound good is going to be tough, and getting em in the pillar is already done. If you can rewire them, and get the crossovers out of the door, they should never go in there if you can avoid it. The doors are still exposed to the elements, and the crossovers have exposed connections. They are up to 55w RMS, and my guess is your head unit is 50w MAX and 22w RMS. That oversized plastic body on speakers, always screams to me, that they are trying to make them look better than they are, because the sound isn't good enough. I wouldn't expect an amp to improve sound quality on those. They just look like real budget speakers. Not sure how bad they are, but might already be damaged. The most you would do with an amp is dial it down to 50w RMS and you might get a decibel or two more out at full volume. I just don't think it's worth it. IMO, I would only get an amp that was 100w-150w if I had it or got a smokin deal, then dialed it down, and I would only do that knowing I was going to replace these anyways. It just looks like the setup is cheap speakers playing almost underpowered. I would guess your head unit is 50w max/22w RMS. If so, you would either find 30w RMS components for a $100-$200 and live with low volumes, or get an amp and components that will do it right. I think you got your hopes up, that you could save money, and I think you can't. [/QUOTE]
