Message	you're not ruining anything. No different than installing gauges and cutting holes in OEM trim pieces, you can do it right so you don't even give it a second glance or hack the shit out of them poorly. I do agree with you about clogging the air vents, though. No better way to render a tweeter useless than to obstruct it. Cheers,
