Default SG Mirror Removal Ideas

Just installed a set of PrimeApes and can't effectively use the stockers. I replaced them with HDs tribal bar mounted ones and like the look as well as I can for being on the bars. Question is... Other than the obvious, what can I do with the holes left? I was thinking maybe a small flush mount tweeter would be nice. I just don't like the look of the Bagga Chips or Kury's strange covers and I'm not crazy about the Home Depot plugs since my inner is painted Pewter. As for the speaker and ohmage, (just made that word up) can they be added to the existing? I have the J&M amp and 7.25" speakers (2ohm). I thought of putting turn signals there but feel like it would be too much of a distraction. Anyone out there put speakers there?

I have same radio set up plus hog tunes tweeters. Yes you can add tweeters. It would sound awesome too.

How do they wire in? Directly to the speakers? And if so, pos to pos and neg to neg? Guessing they have to be 2 ohms as well... Not sure what the Hogtunes are without checking. Thanks

Thanks, will do. Still open to other ideas too. Been searching around but haven't seen anything that struck me as different.

You'll be fine wiring the tweeters in parallel with the front speakers. Because of the tweeter crossover and the fact that impedance changes with frequency. The load on the radio/amp is still AROUND 2 ohms.

I put grip ends over the holes, and silicone around them neatly...
You see rubbing compound all over in the pics.
