It is Bose.....
Since they are the smallest @ 2", and since the Bose system only uses 'mid-high' as their highest frequency speakers, I think it's safe to lump them in as 'tweeters'!
"No highs, no lows - must be Bose!"

Yeah those speakers definitely don't handle highs well. I've already replaced them with real tweeters that can handle the mids as well and highs much better.

Holy Armor-All Cas!!! What did you use on your instrument panel and door panels to get that shiny gloss?! Not a fan of that but you must have put a bit of work into it.
BTW, nice job on the tweeters and Bose emblem. Looks real good.

I used Meguiars to do the Trim. Works great and last long.

dont do it unless your confident. i hate mine i wish i never did it. i fcked up then tried to sand it down and fck it even more im really mad. if you're a perfectionist at this **** DONT do it cuz you'll mostlikely fck it up. for your pen make sure the ink doesnt run a lot or it will come out like ****. I RECOMEND YOU USE A TOOTHPICK TO PAINT THE BOSE. put a few drops of ink in the middle then move it with a toothpick comes out really nice. toobad i figured this out on my second one. DEFF tape sides even if its not close.. if you get it on your finger and touch the piece welllllll your fcked once again. mine didnt come out terrible just not very happy witht hem if you look at them close. DAMNIT.

I'll agree with that. I have done cars models since I was around 12, so I have a liitle skill when it comes to doing things such as this. BUT if you use the same exact pen as I did your given about a 5 min grace time where you can rub off the paint on spots that you messed up.
