Nice setup Brian, did the angle rings come with the speakers? I'm guessing you just drilled a hole for the wires, and either screw or adhesive mount the tweeter base to the door panel?
What I've been thinking of doing is a surface mount on the plastic triangle piece itself, with angle rings to point the tweeters towards the driver/passenger. Since the plastic triangle piece is a bit flimsy as-is - it won't support a tweeter's base mounting screws all that well and one of mine is cracked anyway, the thought was I could laminate a piece of 1/8" thick sheet plastic (acrylic or ABS will do) to the its outer surface to beef it up. Then shape the edges of the now thicker triangle piece with a dremel/sander to make it look stock and paint it to match interior. This would provide a stiff surface to mount the tweeters to. Best part is the design is portable - if you want to get rid of them for any reason, or put them in another FC project, just pop them out and replace with another stock triangle piece.
