Are the land rover tweeters used in conjunction with the same old coaxial speakers they have used for years or did they go to a typical component setup with a dedicated woofer / midrange for the pumas?

Macpaul - Or you could always use a right angle drill chuck thing (what ever you call it.
 That would do the trick. A hole saw IMO is pretty much the only way you'll get a good perfectly circular hole cut out accurate and quickly.
Cabell - IIRC as standard on the Puma it's component the standard speakers are mid range and the Tweeters have in-built X over's. They aren't the worst OE fit speakers I've known but when they get turned up a bit they've had it! If you had an aftermarket HU running on standard speakers I doubt they would last too long before they started to distort! $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |

I managed to do mine in-situ. Drilled a pilot hole for holesaw. Then used just the holesaw, and turned by hand to keep square and tidy through the vinyl covering. Once through, and down to metal, I cleaned it all off, and then put the holesaw in the drill. It was at a bit of an angle, but as long as ii was through the covering, it could be a bit messy. Drill it out and a bit of fettering with a file and job done. 
If you need a hand Ipints Give me a shout
Oh and I didn't realize that the crossovers were built in in the puma tweeters Steve |

I may take you up on the offer Jim....been looking at replacement dash tops and fancy doing something different.....maybe a recover in a different material.... The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead. Albert Einstein |

Got the tweeters, many thanks Steve.....
Not sure when I will get a chance to fit them......as I am off to Asia for a few weeks and then the US for a few more weeks....life is such a chore at times...  The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.
