Replacing tweeters

OK, tomorrow I'm replacing the speakers in my CC. How have people put new tweeters in the car? The existing ones are tiny and my new ones definitely won't fit in there instead.

Any ideas would be useful!

Cheers!

i think most people stick/screw them on the over the little tweeter grill thats there, if they have their own little tweeter housing that it

Nah, you don't stick 'em over the existing grille. You actually cut a hole straight through the grille

Well I looked at doing that but my new tweeters are quite deep and won't fit. There's not much room in there where the old tweeter is and they would just look daft if I did that.

I think the tweeters on the Kenwoods are quite a bit smaller than mine. I really have tried anyway possible and the depth of my tweeters is just too big to fit in properly.

I've gone for screwing & gluing them onto the existing grill which doesn't look too bad (photos on their way) but I'm not 100% happy yet.

The sound is awesome though, especially as I've also dynamtted the doors to try & deaden the sound a bit.
