I'm planning to put some components up front as well - probably 5.25"  Are
you going to use the stock speaker location for the 5.25" - because, at
least on my '90, there is only about ~.5" clearance to the dash and I don't
think (?) the Infinity grills will clear.

Does anyone know of others that will fit (that are currently available)?

The best option I've found so are is MB Quart.  They allow you to do a flush
mount w/ the mid-woofer which is very low profile.

I was thinking about mounting the tweeter using the angle surface mount
placed in each leading corner (cabin side, not windshield side) of the dash.
That way they'd be right next to the mid-woofer and directed well.  Also
thinking about mounting them on high on the door panel next to the
mid-woofer.
