subzero....do you still have your factory tweeters?? I could use both of them. PM me. I installed Infinity Kappa 2 ohms and 4 ohms in my front and rear speakers almost a year ago. Way better than stock. Was almost to bright for me. Had to turn the treble down to 3 using stock HU.

My adaptor plates took about a week and a half. But most of that time was my echeck from Paypal clearing. If I get the rears, I'm gonna figure out a quiker way to pay. Very good service. I will hopefully be putting mine in this weekend.

thank you so much for this! I've been looking for decent adapter plates for a while... what model/size tweeters are those that fit in the factory housings? Were they a decent upgrade?

Some of you must were not looking too hard for these adapters...a search would've found these on this site alone. Google would've shown you multiple options...eBay has them. I don't see how some of you are saying you didn't know about this lol.

Mine took about 2 weeks to get both sets in, a little long for shipping in my opinion but good quality product.

I used the Polk DB651 component speaker set from Amazon. Pretty much the tweeter that comes with it is sold seperately and fits the factory location. They make the highs sound great, way better than factory for my ears. Here is the link.
Amazon.com: Polk Audio DB1001 1-Inch Silk/Polymer Composite Dome Tweeters (Pair, Black): Car Electronics Amazon.com: Polk Audio DB1001 1-Inch Silk/Polymer Composite Dome Tweeters (Pair, Black): Car Electronics

Let me know if you need any more help.
