    There are stock tweeters at the base of each A-pillar and many do a plug and play swap of these speakers. Is this what you are asking? Anything beyond that will be custom work.

    i really think the oem location images quite well. so adding another set of tweeters really comes down to where you feel the system is lacking, which no one else can answer for you.

    could play with a different crossover frequency to attempt to add depth to the sound stage, but that really depends on the tweeter characteristics and mounting location as well.

    I used subuaru tweeters . They are plug and play it uses the oem plug to connect . Crutchfield might have an oem harness plug to extend the length of wires if u are splicing wires .

    I too did the plug & play Subaru (Kicker) tweeters. What an improvement!

    Then I put in an 8" underseat Powered Sub. Another improvement.
