This setup: Amazon.com: Polk Audio DB6501 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component System (Pair, Silver): Electronics

The tweeters are way smaller than factory sized tweeters. Why did anyone recommend this? What size are our ACTUAL tweeters so I can get the right sized ones. These come with 1" tweeters, I need 2" don't I? Can I get a relatively cheap mount to put on the 1 inchers?

Just make a custom mount out of wood, plastic, or do what i did and cut up a hard back cover of a book. The stock tweeter bracket is part of the tweeter itself. Any component speakers you install will need a mounting plate for the tweeters. Its not difficult.

to make mine, i found a hard back old college book and traced the stock tweeter bracket. Then used the mounting cup for the new tweeter as a template for the tweeter.

You will need use the supplied tweeter mounting cup, tweeter, mounting bracket(abs, wood, cardboard, ect). As far as the cardboard goes, as long as it is able to hold the tweeter in place, i think your fine.

Oh I know what you're talking about. I've been looking around the house for a plastic piece or something hard to put there. This shouldn't be hard. Dremel will be helpful.
