replacing bose door speakers with infinity kappas
This seems to be the way to go to replace the door speakers but after searching I see nothing about where the tweeters go.
Are there stock tweeters with the bose? If so where are they and can the kappa tweeters replace them?

they're where the side mirrors are (you can see a little speaker grill in that area). You can fit the kappa tweeters with some dremeling and hot glue/plastic adhesive (unless they slip right in - I installed phoenix golds in mine so I can't speak from experience).

#2 Are you replacing them with Infinity Kappa separates or with Perfect 6.1's?
#3 As far as I know, my Perfect tweets dropped right into the stock tweeter mount. I don't know if the Kappa separate tweets are the same size and will drop right into the stock mount.
#4 Yes, the tweeters are in the little grille area above the door locks/handle areas in the doors on the other side of the side view mirrors.
hope this helps...

just delivered today. Got a girl flying in from vegas for the weekend and she probably doesn't want to do a speaker install while she's here so it's looking like next weekend for the install.

Put them in today. Took about an hour for the 1st and about 40 minutes for the second once I knew what to do. Door panels come off in like 3 minutes. Totally easy. Adapters fit great, tweeters are a total drop in for the stock location and there is plenty of room to mount the crossovers to the inner doorskin. Couple strips of 3m exterior 2 sided tape on each and just press them on the skin in the flat area where the side mirror electrical connectors are. Rock solid, all good.
Probably the easiest speaker replacement I ever did.

Agree these speakers were easy to put in. Did mine this weekend, had the adapters, quick. I put the cross over just under the window switches in the door. I was able to play with the +3 DB gain with the door panel on. I was amazed how much better it sounds now. Wow.
Looks good! I will also be installing the Infinity Kappas in the front and mid rear. How did you figure out how to take apart the door panels and also the mid rear area? Also, do you think it is necessary to Dynomat around the new speakers??

Once the 3 screws are out just grab the panel on the bottom edge and give a good yank.
Door underneath is pretty well sealed but I will be going back in to install some raammat anyway. Can't hurt
