These speaker adapters will work.

Here are the specs for the tweeters. These tweeters do not have a mounting bracket to hold them in place. They are designed to slip into the supplied mounting cone. You will want to have the gauge hole a little less than 2" so the tweeter has something to grip on to. Or some epoxy may be needed. The 2 1/4" outside diameter should just fit the gauge recess.

Yeah I actually have them mounted that way, the problem is my bt 7.1 adapters don't have the other holes for 6.5's.

I also think I'm gonna have to remove the metal brackets so I can mount the crossovers on each side? Any ideas? Not sure how much support those actually provide

Yes, you are going to need different adapters.

As stated, google that stuff if u have some time on your hands for inter web order but if ur wanting to keep rolling I bet any local car audio shop has it available. I have a place called Car Toys just a mile away that has a pretty good selection of install accessories.

Make sure the adapters have room for the speaker surround without obstructions and make sure they are heavy duty enough to hold these heavy speakers. The adapters I posted above are good quality.

Awesome thanks bertk, a shop in town used to sell arc audio stuff so I'll see if they still sell it and If they sell the adapters, if not I'll order these ones you recommended
