Default Need Ideas on Where to Mount 4" Tweeters

After 2 years of bashing my head, replacing every part known to man, I decided to keep my 2000 R/T. After $600 for a new heater core and $700 on new tires, I decided if I am going to keep it, it is going to sound good too! A whole bunch of research later I decided on an MTX system which consists of...2 2" tweeters and 2 6.5" mid bass driver in the front, 2 4" tweeters, 2 6.5 mid bass drivers in the rear, 2 12" Shallow Mount Piston Drivers in a down fire box, and everything is powered by a 5 Channel MTX amp... Cant forget the 48sq ft of Dynamat to stop the horrific rattle most cars have. I have spent the last week covering every outside skin with Dynamat...doors, wheel wells, hatch, pillars, ect. I do not recommend doing it unless you have a friend with long twig like arms...My arms are so bruised, I look like a strung out junkie with horrible aim.
Now I am at the point where it is time to begin the install and after opening the box for the 4" tweeters, I discovered they weigh almost 6lbs a piece and the mounting depth is close to 4". My question is, where in the rear doors should i mount these? I know I am going to have to cut into the panel, there is no way around it...but where? Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I have seen people mount them in the panel above/behind the front seats. Not sure if that's an option, but if i can find a pic of the last one i seen I'll post it here.

Edit: like this
. btw mute the sound from video..

You normally mount them high. With that size your going to have to use the lower part of the door. Fish around for some room. I would angle them up at least. I put my leftover 1" tweets at the top of the a-piler. The rear are just like the front doors aimed at front seats.

Thanks for the ideas! I got everything mounted today, have a few more panels to put back in, have to mount the amp, tint we windows again, then waiting on the box which will be here on Friday, and I am done...for now. Check out the pics, I think it looks pretty clean.
