Rockford fosgates component speakers (worth it or not?)

I have a pair of power coaxial's in the back, and now i want components for the front... I love my back speakers because they were cheap and they sound retetivly good. My question is how would i go about fiting thes in/installing them in the front... Would it be hard? and what would i need to buy so that the tweeters fit? (i havea GXE so i dont have holes) Thanks in advance for your help

The picture at the top of that auction is not the P162s speakers. Those are the "power version" or something else.
The P162s comes with 4 tweeters. They can be mounted on a bracket on top of the speaker like a coaxial. Or you can mount one tweeter on each driver and mount one on each door. That is what I liked about the p162s. You have flexibility. Hell, if you want you can only use two of the four tweeters that comes with the set.
But do not buy from this seller. They have the wrong components pictured at the top so who knows what else will go wrong with it.

Wow looks like a good price, for who knows what?....you may get the Power Components or Punch Components. I love it when people ***** this stuff all over the Internet. Just from experience, buyer beware. You blow them, no factory warranty. The new Punch Components are a night and day difference over last years Fanatic P, X & Q's. I have installed a set of the 6x8's and loved the versatility of the tweeters. Mounted one on the pole piece and one in the pillar in a Ford Econoline. They sounded awesome. Buy them from a dealer that will back you on the purchase, you'll never know if you may need that warranty.

haha, im thinking about cutting holes for two tweeters in the door pannels so that they are flush, and mounting two on my dash... should be kick *** highs. Any other ideas on where to mount the other two? Does anybody actually have these speakers?
