Bend 2 90's at the edge of the tweeter leaving a tad bit of room 1/16" or so and then trim flush with face of tweeter adding about a 1/16 of an inch again to that depth. This will give you a solid mounting point without the need for any adhesive. If you do still feel the need, use a tad bit of clear epoxy weld on top and bottom. A dab will do.
slyedog, by chance do you have a pic of this method of install?

thanks,
Michael

I can't find any. If makdaddy is in the position to do so, he has the set I did this exact method to, and may be able to provide a picture if he hasn't installed them yet. If I do find a pic buried in my pc somewhere I will.

Here are a few pics I had sent to me. The epoxy is optional. Using jb clear weld it will help a tad and will pop with a little force. Try without first and go from there.

I tried to get a video up yesterday, but not happy with the audio. Used my Note 5. May try and use the kids ipad.

What is your overall impression of this setup compared to the Motos, which are very good speaks. Worth the extra $$$ for a guy/gal leaning towards the Motos?

Thanks Black!!!

They are for sure worth the extra money. I really liked the motos, but wanted more than a coax could deliver. Just swapping to the AW and At with the same tuning for the motos was a very big difference. Fuller and more musical sound. They are a lot louder and have more bass. I did some tuning Sunday and they really sound amazing. My ears say they match perfect with the 6900 pros.

Totally agree! That's a killer set up! Nice highs, mids and lows!

Alright. Finally had a chance to give a video a shot. First video I have ever posted to YouTube so I apologize if it sucks. This is with both front and rear as i am only running one line leveler and have no fade.
