1/2" is stock, but one inch will fit with very minor mods.

I had Boston Accoustic 1" in mine. Sounded dramatically better than OEM

what minor mods? i am thinking about 1" alpine type s tweeters to match my type s speakers in all the doors. i like the alpine sound. i even have a type r alpine 12" sub at 1000watt power i am kind of an audiophile and my preferred brands are alpine and rockford fosgate , they just sound the best and have a great value from my experience.

I'm running the Alpine Type-S 6.5" components & the tweeters fit perfectly in the stock sails after you remove the Alpine tweeter housing, they even clip securely in the OEM mounts.

The mod (for me) was to break the tabs that held the stock tweeter on the sail panel and glued the bigger 1" tweeter in.

cool system i am running alpine type s speakers all around and a type x 12"sub in a ported custom built box with a kenwood headunit and planet audio 1000 watt amp beats hard especially for a single 12 i listen to rock and metal about 99% of the time, so 1 sub is all i need, u se to listen 2 rap and stuff like that more but cant stand that anymore so i cut down on the # of subs i have and went with a high powered single sub system to make it loud but clear for the faster paced rock/metal i listen to

My 2002 didn't come with the sail tweeters, so I'm grabbing a pair from the marketplace here. Probly gonna throw in Alpine tweets too since I've got a CDA-105 deck and SPS-517's also.

Any thoughts on adding an attenuator to the tweeters to block out the low freqs though? I've only bought comps before, never just ADDED t's before.

TKS!

Depends.

Yes, you MUST block low frequencies. Does your amp have a high-pass filter?
Are you using an active crossover?

If no to the above - go to Partsexpress.com and get 'bass blockers' to wire in.

EDIT:

Nevermind...looking for components now too for the fronts. Hoping the tweeters on the Kicker & JL 6"x8" components will fit the sail though!
