Default Front door tweeter size

So I made a post a while back about rear door tweeters, which I believe I have resolved. Planning on getting these to replace them.
http://www.jlaudio.com/zr100-ct-car-...ossovers-91124

Here's my question though. Considering how small the housing is with the front tweeters, I'm guessing these wouldn't fit? It looks like it's just the bare tweeter in there, plus I'd imagine the replacement has to be pretty shallow to fit in there.. What have y'all replaced the front tweeters with?

Sub'd for an answer. I've been wanting to do the same thing, looked at JL's site and was just going to buy whatever one they have for sale. I assume it'll fit.

i figured since the housing is rather unique that not every size and depth of tweeter would work.

i have replaced my fronts with focal tweeters. I actually found that they fit really nicely in there with plenty of space. I used a small shot of hot glue to keep it in place. If you need me to measure the OEM tweeters, let me know as they are sitting in my garage. I might even have an extra focal tweeter i can measure too. You will definitely have to remove it from it's casing so it's JUST the tweeter.

Whatever info you can give. Are the focal tweeters 1"? Did you have to be careful with the depth of the tweeter?

sorry for the slow reply. Haven't been on much.

I got a diameter of 4cm
Thickness was 1.75cm

My focals were the EXACT same measurements so they fit without issues.

hope that helps.
