I have these massive 3 inch tweeters (please don't flame me) - http://www.madisound.com/neocd3.0.html

I want to get some suggestions and ideas from those of you who have had custom installations of tweeters in your car just to see how they look and also to get guidance on how best to place them for an SQ focussed system.

Thanks!

those are large tweets indeed... but not massive.
if you want some ideas, check out PLOW's tweeter instal... his tweeters are 6" in diameter!!
btw, his car sounds stupendous!! almost as good as mine!

I just checked his cardomain page but don't see the tweeters installed in any of the 8 pages there http://www.cardomain.com/ride/634904/1

Do you have a link to some pics of his tweeters? I'd love to see what he did.

Anybody have an idea on the cost to make fiberglass pods for my tweeters and have them mounted perhaps to the A-pillar or somewhere else in that vicinity?

I just want to get an idea on a ball park figure.

Does anyone have recommendations of a very good shop in Oakville or Mississauga area to do this, as well as tuning my system?

My first attempt at fiberglassing.
Turned out pretty good.
Sounds better than I expected.
Currently amped at about 40-50rms per side, going to upgrade the amp soon enough though.
Mids are in the stock place.
