Tweeters, UGH!!

I have 2-way component speakers in the doors and I want to add another set of tweeters in the sail panels facing towards the seats.
Has anyone found a small enough tweeter that doesn’t require a huge amount of fabrication?

I used the 2010 Tweeter Sail Panels, and put Polk tweeters in them from a DB6502 set.
Work great.
The biggest thing was using a passive crossover - greatly improved the "sound stage".

Do you know the diameter of the tweeter cavity?

These 2008-2016 Superduty sail panels are way overpriced. If I could find a set at a reasonable price and knew if aftermarket tweeters like Hertz would fit, I'd have my answer.

I have a tweeter right here on my desk...

Factory tweeter is 1.532" on the outer ring, but the opening in the sail panel is about 1.592"
