I have boston acoustic tweeters that have never been installed. Their smaller than the stock tweeters and I have no spacer to mount it. I could mount it, but there'd be an empty ring around it between the tweeter and the mount/pod.

thanks guys, what do u think about if i only installed a tweeter in the front passenger side? I think 4 way speakers with a total of 4 tweeters in the back and 1 in the front is plenty.

Um..... allow me to interject here. You really should have your high frequencies up front instead of in back. I am going to be mean here to put things into perspective.... When you go to a concert, do you turn your back towards the stage? If your answer to this question is yes, then putting most of your high frequencies behind you will be fine.

OK, now I can be nice again. You would be far better served by spending more money on better door speakers than throwing money away on your rear deck speakers. At most, rear speakers should be used for fill-in purposes not to blast tunes from behind your head.

^ditto and you wouldnt want just one tweeter anyhow it would be off balance unless you were using it as a center channel

You probably need to adjust your headunit to turn down your highs, or to turn up the mids or lows.
