I have decided to employ an age old method for determining proper tweeter clearance. A method of unknown origin, but first appears in the writings about Noah's Ark, when he needed to install a pair of 6X9 components, but didn't know if he had the beam clearance; Play-doh.

Not having any handy, I shook down some neighbor kid for his stash. Kid owed me money, broke my window last year with a baseball, so he had it coming!

Now with a pad of Play-doh slightly bigger than the tweeter to-be-installed stuck to the back of the door panel in stratagemic locations, we emplace the door panel, check, move the Play-doh, replace door panel until we're ready to cry because just about every location lacks clearance

But... perhaps some judicious use of beer and the infamous dremel tool, we can make them fit. I plan to trim the tweeter bracket down as much as possible, retaining only the threads required to secure it. This will leave the deepest part of the tweeter swivel that needs to be cleared, which is much smaller than the whole tweeter bracket.

We have the technology, we have the means. This will be done... at some point.
