Default mounting tweeters

Just got my speakers today. Thanks to Alex from baggeraudiolab! My questions are:
1) Do the speakers hook right up to the bk pod eliminators?
2) with the hog-tunes speaker grills how does the bracket hold these in?

scoob the BT brackets are pre drilled for 6.5 they’LL Line right up. For the tweeters use a 1 3/4 hole saw and some black silicone to hold them in place.

BLACK!!!! for sure. No matter what you do, you'll see a little bit of it and the clear is very visible. Lesson I learned the hard way. Good call Alex.

Just don't drill the initial grill hole too big. U want that damn tweet to slide in nice and snug using the silicone as an additional securing measure. Us dremmel to fine tune the size of the grill hole. If u take the time to get some grill cloth it really cleans up the finished look.

Rather than use silicone, I flattened out the clip for the back of the tweet. This made the clip longer and the screw holds them nice and snug. One other small tip is I took a black sharpie to the wires on the tweeter. I didn't want to see the red wire thru the grills, and this seemed to do the trick. I used a 1 7/8" hole saw and it worked perfect. Put a layer of masking tape on the front so you can draw some lines to find the exact center. Clamp it down well, run the saw in reverse and go sloooowww.

Thanks again for your tips. Looks like this weekend forecast rain in Milwaukee so the time has come to do my audio upgrade.
