This may get moved to Car Audio, but the drivers I've used in my car are also often used in home audio, and I really just wanted to post the pics.
So far I've done the front doors - which have the Silver Flute W17RC38-04 6.5" 4 ohm woofer and the SEAS Prestige 27TAFNC/G (H1397) tweeter (Zaph/Linkwitz).
The woofers were a perfect drop-in in the factory location, with a few extra screw holes needing to be drilled. The tweeter presses into the slightly (and carefully) enlarged factory tweeter door panel cutout, and just looks cool.
The factory system is 2 ohm, bi-wire, and I used no crossover components - not ideal of course but with a factory crossover of unknown specs I'm not going to try to measure and calculate filters - not my area of expertise and they sound awesome anyway - excllent pairing of drivers.
The rears are 6x9 woofers plus tweeter (all factory garbage by the way), but are murder to get to, and that's next on the project list. I may keep the 6x9s as subs - they DO have good base, but in their current location I will drop in a Scosche SA-69 adaptor plate with the same woofers, but with the Vifa DQ25SC16-04 tweeter (also Zaph). This is just to save a little money and the tweets will bolt on to the adaptor plate, as opposed to trying find a way to affix press-fit tweeters in a non press-fit location.
When all four corners are firing it's going to be my mobile concert hall, but it already sounds great as it is.
Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the tip - I'm sure that's true, and perhaps I should re-think and spend the extra money to have matching components and sound.
I'm sure there's a fairly easy way to mount the SEAS tweets on the adaptor plate - the cut-out area has several size selections, and I can attach a metal strip and bolt down the tweeter.
