So what size speakers can you get in the dash tweeter position?

Thinking of some 2.5 inch mid/tweeters!
Mystic Blue Mk3 16v + Black Mk5 Gti 05 plate + Peugeot 405 Mi16

Well ideally you want to only put tweeters in the dash, that's the best speaker type to put in there, theoretically you can put another type of speaker in the with the right size and right mounting, but wouldn't be right in my opinion.

i agree, tweeters should be installed quite near to ear level as they are very directional, they should also be pointed towards the listener too if possible. in my old car i installed infinity kappa`s in the head lining, it sounded nice and crisp. :smiley:

I got the Infinity Kappa Components, absolutely love them, think I'm giving them 80watts RMS atm, they are capable of 100 so going to upgrade the amp soon hopefully.
