Where do you mount the speakers so they are unobtrusive?  I don't want to
cut into sheet metal if I can avoid it.  I was thinking about bass drivers
just forward of the door, inside the kick panel, but I can't figure out
where to mount the mid-range or tweeter drivers where they can be heard.  I
was thinking about the inside of the door pockets, i.e. facing to the rear
of the car between the door skin and the panel, right under the door pull,
but I don't know if I can get small enough drivers to fit there.
