I managed to disconnect my tweeter (and managed to crack a few more pieces of plastic because it seems nobody has ever documented the removal process) and it measured 2" across the mounting plate. The tweeter itself seemed to be about 1 3/4".

As I thought the tweeter is the problem. Now that I've disconnected it I can't seem to find anybody that sells a 2" tweeter! At least one that would fit where the original is.

So I'm kind of stumped. I'm sure I'll figure something out sooner or later but as of now...no.

If anybody has any input or has replaced this tweeter with an aftermarket one, I'd appreciate some info about the brand of speaker purchased or if it's even possible to buy a 1 3/4" and mount it inside of the original mounting plate. I'm not new to audio so I've got a few tricks up my sleeves but I'd like to keep the car as clean and original looking as possible.

If anybody wants to know the process of removing the tweeter just send me a pm.
