I planned on keeping the stock rear speakers for now. As for the tweeters, I
have no "stock location" as I got the base stereo when I bought the truck. Just
the basic 4 speaker locations. I'll have to either cut the doors or get (if
they exist) some little pods to put on the A-pillar.

Looked at the MTX Thunderform, but that might get expensive (plus, tearing the
whole cab apart is a daunting task). The guy at the stereo shop I went to last
weekend said he'd just get a box to throw on the back seat and take it out when
I need the seating room. That doesn't sound like a phenomenal solution.

Saved $500? May I ask how much total your system was? I imagine you'd have to
shell out quite a bit to SAVE that much. I was hoping to get this speaker & amp
deal done (no sub yet) for under $1000, preferably under $700.
Thanks for the thoughts!
