(SPR-17S) It comes with a bass and mid woofer that will go in the door panel, a tweeter that will go inside the mirror, and the crossover that you will have to mount somewhere on the door behind the door panel. the component set are the best way to go with tweeters cuz they are designed to work with each other and maintain the correct ohm loads and power handling. _____________________________ (in reply to colby_666) Post #: 5

Agreed.  I put the SPR-17S in my '02 Coupe, and had to add spacers.  As a tip, put your windows down BEFORE installing the speakers to ensure you have enough clearance in the back. _____________________________ (in reply to KarTuneMan) Post #: 7
