Where to place additional tweeters in 3rd gen Tacoma

I got some fancy component speakers and while they sound great I do not have a spot for the included tweeters. The dash location is taken up by the mid range driver and the sail panel does not seem deep enough to install the included swiveling tweeter flush mount.

Where are you guys placing your tweeters on the 3rd gens? I'm finding this to be ridiculously difficult to do without sacrificing the OEM look.

 

I poked around a little and didn't find anything pre-made. Looks like you're going to have to go custom.

I found one dude who managed sail panels but those look like some pretty shallow tweeters:

Here's a couple more threads I found ... that second post looks pretty damn good imho

Thanks for the replies. I've done the searching and was hoping that there were some more pre-made solutions by now.

The best ones I've seen are the focals in one of the links you provided or these https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/anyone-put-tweeter-in-3rd-gen-sail-panel.483025/page-3 audiofrogs.

Guess I've got to work on finding a local fabricator.

 

We’re are you located?

 

If you have the space and time... Probably cheaper / more fun / more fulfilling to buy some used sail panels on eBay or at the wrecker yard and do it yourself.

Agreed on the sail panel location for a 3 way setup. Woofers in doors, mids in dash and tweeters in sail panels by the side mirrors. Otherwise, a custom fiberglass pod molded into the a pillar grab handle location to house the mids and tweeters.

If you went 6.5 in the door there’s probably room for the tweeter next to the woofer, especially if you offset the woofer a little.

I would try to get the tweeters in the dash and move the midrange though.

 

I may just screw the tweeter to the sail panel until I can find somebody to fabricate something that will make it point in the correct direction and look OEM. The door speaker is 6x9, there seems to be a small bit of room there but I'm not sure its enough to not interfere with the speaker already in place. I'll give it another look.

The midrange is much larger and fits almost perfectly where the original JBL midrange went. So I really think that finding a spot for the tweeter is the best course of action.
