Component tweeter installation locations on an FC

My vert has all Boston Pros. Amazing speakers for the money. I've got 6" in the doors, tweets in the pods on the door in front of the triangles. I've got 4" under the dash. I've got an 8" under the rear deck.

I've also got a set of 5" that I"m thinking of creating boxes and mounting them firing out of the rear deck from behind the seats. Alot of the music I listen to is surround sound and it kills me having no rear speakers.

I'm surprised how much fill the 4" under the dash adds. I had never used those factory locations cause of how poorly they are located. But it really does help fill. Though I do have the gains on the amp pushing those speakers turned way down.

I thought about making some sort of flush mount for my tweets like other have talked about. But I really like how the pods allow me to direct the sound. They really sound excellent there and the pods look right at home where they are. For me it wasn't worth the effort of fabbing up tweet mounts.
