Default Small speakers in side paneling?

So I took everything out of my 96 blazer except for speedometer and 1 driver seat.
its all getting a new paint job and being re-done. Anyway, I have 2 small laptop computer speakers that I was thinking about gluing to the inside of the main side paneling. Putting small holes and wiring it all up like small mid tweaters. Any idea if anyone has done or tried this and where would be a good place for them?

Im going to run the wiring to the matching side door speaker since they don't need much power to push them. From that ill be able to get matching sides and all that.

those type speakers are made to handle MAYBE 2-5 watts. They are not for music. And, the impedance will probably be off. So it's a very bad idea all around, sorry.

Yeah, if you want tweeters, buy tweeters. Those aren't meant to act as tweeters and as rumbler said, they only handle a couple of watts. You would probably blow them in 5 min.

Not to be rude, but did this thought really come in your mind and you were like "you know, that is a good idea"

I don't know. I took the side panels out and it just came to me. My music is never loud to begin with. Its always just low when I listen to it so I don't think I'd blow them. It would probably still sound better to by good ones though. Im undecided. Thanks though
