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.

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.
