Yup, they fit in the stock baskets(with the backs cut out) just fine. The tweeters are quite large and are a tight fit in the factory tweeter locations...thinking about relocating them for better staging.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the tweeter is jammed down between the two mounting posts because of its large diameter.

Is that something you could take care of by removing a little plastic with a Dremel? Thanks for the picture, btw.

Yes you can jam the tweeter in there, I used a spacer so that it was closer to the plastic grill for slightly better off axis response.
Then a week later, I cut up the stock pods and mounted them flush with the PPI mounts. The sound is better and less of the "tunnel" effect. Because these tweeters have a low crossover point the sound is smoother and aerier than the first option.
Love this setup. Best speakers for the price. I am still thinking about ways to mount another set in back. Magnets are too large and I don't want to cut metal... Any ideas?

Man, I'm stumped on how a second set could be mounted. As far as I can tell, those magnets are just too large for the spaces(without welding/cutting) behind the seats. I actually just picked up a pair of Aura Bass Shakers (25W version) and hope to get them installed this weekend. I have never used a transducer before, but other drivers seem pretty happy with the results so it couldn't hurt to try.
