Yeah, I debated the extra tweeter up front, but I do appreciate being able to hear every tippy-tap of a drum stick on the high hat, so I kept at it.
The sail panel on the 5th gen is no good for tweeter placement. That was the natural go-to spot, but they changed the dash and door interface, and the sail panel is basically right up against the side of the dash board when closed. I've found a spot about 4" above and directly inline with the 6X9 speaker cut-out where the front tweeter will fit.
The rear door has a spot about 2" above and slightly behind the speaker cut-out where it will fit, depth-wise, but it's basically pointed at the passengers' leg. I will rarely, if ever, have passengers, so it works for me.
If I had to do it all over again, I would just put coaxials in and skip the drilling holes part. Major props to the Japanese engineers; they filled every friggin' useful millimeter behind those panels with something!
