what year is your es?
For the ~97 the tweeter just mounts to the factory tweeter brackets, I'm not sure abut the older es's however.

Run those L7's on an amp under rated @ 1200watt @ 1ohm. I just sold my beloved ones & my JBL 1200.1. They are viscious.
It took a little exacto knife & epoxy, but I was able to stuff the 1" infinity kappa tweeters in my stock location. I don't see why you can't take your cover off & do the same.

Good luck with it!
Just swear to me you will ditch the stock head unit & amp, if you haven't allready. They're sucky.

You could pop out the mesh grille and mount the tweeter, or you could mount the tweeter on the factory tweeter mount.
