Speaker Locations in 2010 non-Bose Factory Stereo?

[woodsy]

Okay, I have a dumb question.

I have a 2010 Mazda 6i (and I presume the speaker locations are the same as 2009, but maybe they aren't.) I can't locate the six speakers in my car. I can find four (the two 6.5's in the front and back doors), but I don't know where the last two are.

I believe I know the locations where they could be... looks like there's a spot for a tweeter in the front doors, and spots for some speakers behind the back seat on the rear deck. However, I don't hear any sound coming from those locations.

Also, another question... will a quality aftermarket tweeter fit in those spots for tweeters on the front door? On a lot of cars, you have to drill holes to mount tweeters, but looks like this might be a built-in spot to install some aftermarket ones.

those tweeter locations actually have tweeters in them : ). So those are your two missing speakers. I wondered same thing so I took off grill and listened. The thing is they are so quite I don't know why they are there. I measured them so that I could look into replacing. The cone looked to be about 1".
