2003 Acura TL overhaul.

I purchased a used vehicle, and it came with the blose system, and no tweeters, which surprised me as this is supposed to be a premium car. Well, I am now stuck with installing a new system. I want to run a component system up front, but the speaker placement is more in the middle of the door, and there is almost no room for tweeter installment in the door. All of the car audio shops here seem to want to place the tweeter in the plastic panel by the side mirror in front of the a-pillar. This leaves about a foot of separation between the midbass, and the tweeter. I do not feel like implementing kick pods or anything and want to leave the car looking as stock as possible. The question is, has anyone ever worked in this particular car, and if there is a certain component system that generally shines with this type of setup. I have looked long and hard at this scenario, and think that it would be next to impossible to mount the tweeter close to the midrange using the stock locations of the mids. Audio shops always tend to suggest the JL-XR's but I hear that they are especially picky with the install. Just wondering if you guys could point me in the general direction and suggest comps that would work best with this particular install. My limit is 350-400 for comps. Any input would be appreciated.thanks.

Actually the JL's wouldn't be to bad in that set up, and remember anything over 5K your ears really more on volume than they do positioning. I would have them temp install the tweets, so you can play with the position for a while. Double sided tape works wonders for this. Then you can have them installed later where you want them. Who knows you might love they way they sound up there.
