Calm down children and have your milk and biscuits in peace before nap time or Santa won't bring you that transformers mask you wanted.

If you mean adapters for the front speakers than you can get them from halfords for around 15 pound, including the wiring and mounting adaptions so they fit snug in the door frame. Or alternitively you can buy some door pods which slot over the speaker hole thats standard, they make a far more impressive look although there very expensive.
I actually removed my tweeters as i had them combined with the standards and my music sounded a little high pitched. I mounted mine on the lower front pillars (windscreen), by cutting a small hole and simply slotting them in place. You should have gotton regular flat mounters and angled ones with the set-up and its up to you which ones you use to mount the tweeters in. I thought the angled ones sounded much better as you can direct it toward the ear level more easily.
If the wiring isn't long enough for the tweeters just nip down to halfords and get some 4 quid speaker wire and you could even mount them in the back if you wanted to lol.
Can i just say, if people don't have anything useful to say why post a comment at all. This is the help section if its gonna be a childish aregument it can be taken to the off-topic section
Hope that helped

Also, i believe its a 13cm size adaptionfrom Halfords, i know you can get either 13cm or 17cm fusion encounter setups. You need to make sure you've got the 13cm ones or they wont fit.

Hi Dan, i have the same components as you, all i did was ripped out the old standard speaker that came with the car to get the adapter, the fusions fit perfectly with this adapter, then i had to use a hammer and knock the hole in the door slightly bigger to make the speaker fit.... Quick question, i havent installed the x over or tweeters yet so i was wondering how you installed them
