Default Where to place tweeters on STR

Anyone have a good idea on where to place the tweeters of a pair of splits, before I start chopping away the door trim?
I dont know if there is a place or panel available like that on the XJ.
The only thing that I can think of is on the leather vertical panel above the armrest, just below the timber trim.

if i were you, i would mount them in a custom plate next to the main driver behind the grille, if you did 6" ones there is enough room. If not, you could always redo the A-pillar to house the tweeter. I wouldnt want to cut the door out, personnally. I think replacement A-pillars for our STR are like 30 dollars on ebay. Much cheaper than buying new door panels.

Behind the Main Grille...

Don't cut up the car.

Thanks alot Jason and George!
Your contribution on this site is invaluable.
You blokes are certainly very knowledgeable.

I will follow your advise and leave the leather panel alone and place the tweeters on the base of the A pillar as they appear to fit.

I am using using a pair of JVC 300w 6.5" carbon/kevlar woofers I had lying around and am unable to squeese the tweeters along side.

I must ask your advise as to what you would think would complement these front splits for the rear doors?
