Hi,
I have ordered the following for my 182:

-Alpine cda-117ri with stalkcontrol and Imprint processor
-Hertz HSK-130 composet

What would the best place to put the tweeters, the original location? Or use the supplied stick on pods to make them more directional?

Is there a company out there that makes tweeterpods for a 182?

I don't know about the best place, but I mounted them in the original location, then hid the crossovers under the seats, connected to an amp in the boot.
I laid all new wiring though didn't use factory wires.

my plan is to use an old amp under the seat for the fronts and an old pioneer sub in the boot.

You can just see mine in the Photo:
I'm sure a proper ICE enthusiast would tell you you need to angle the tweeters towards you, but I couldn't be bothered to make custom pods, and wanted it to look factory.

looks good mate

The easiest place would probs be just to mount the tweeters in the door too, hide the crossover behind the doorcard.
Then put the original speaker wire into the input for the crossover, and then chop the speaker wire at the headunit end, and divert to the amp.
