Tweeters on top of dash
I want to install my tweeters on the top corners of my dash console. Any recommendations or advice? Is this going to be difficult? How about to feed the wires down? I will be mounting the Crossovers either under the passenger seat compartment(Left Hand Drive) or in the cubby. I have a small amp as well, which I will be mounting either in cubby or again under the passenger seat compartment.

Also, how difficult is it to remove the dash?

You won't need to remove the dash to install tweeters there. There's enough room to put your hand up most of the way from the speaker holes. There's space for an amp in the fuse box under seat compartment, but you should should probably not mount it to the floor of it. You might consider an under cubby riser to create a nice space for your crossovers whilst maintaining cubby storage (also raises the cubby to a good elbow height.). I bought mine here (on Wild Card 90's advice): http://offroadservice.net/innenraum/cubby-box-unterfach/index.php

I did it and it's really easy but I'd recommend putting the crossovers behind the lower speakers and just running one set of speaker wire Back to the amp.

Ignore my hasty reply above: I now see you don't have a Puma dash so I don't know about access. Sorry
