http://simplicity.elitecaraudio.org/ Check out Bing in the South bay. He's expensive, but TOP Notch. He has pics of pillar installs in his picture galleries.

I'll take some pics of them installed later.

Yeah it's in my GS400. I wanted to get the tweeters ear level, the window sills aren't exactly the best position for speakers and didn't have room for the ones I wanted put in.

im strongly thinking about going 3 way with my speaker set up.

so midrange and tweeters in the A pillars.

maybe even 2 way, with just tweets in the pillars. but if im going to have to fabricate pillars, i might as well add the midrange in there to get better sound. idk how much better the tweeters would sound in the A pillars from their current stock location in the corner of the door, so pretty much il only do this if i go 3 way

yes mids/tweeters.
i want to set up a better front stage in my car.

not sure if i should bother with the big hassle of going 3 way and fabricating a pillars and having the difficulty of tunning 3 way or if i should just go with a really good set of components (2 way). but i love the way a pillars look with mid/tweet in them.
