What are some good speaker options for the arch?

I just added a JL 10" sub in my 280DA. I have 4 coaxials right now in the factory locations which is fine.

However, I'd like to figure out how to get some decent speakers (or one speaker??) up in the arch w/o distracting from the looks.

I wanted to install a single dual voice coil speaker to replace the access panel in the arch, but its only around 2 - 2 1/4" in depth in that area and most speakers are closer to 3-4" deep.

The options I can think of are to either drill two holes to fit some 6 1/2" speakers, or mount just two tweeters up in the arch (one on the port side and one on the starboard side).

I don't want to mount those big torpedo type speakers.

Any thoughts?
 
You can use spacers to give you more depth. White spacers with white speakers on the white arch isn't very obvious, though it does stick out more. There may be some shallow mount options available as well...
