I was Today Years old when I learned that the SVXs Tweeters are actually fake...

I did also look down the holes but couldn't find any sound thing in there at all.... What a weird thing for them to leave out

Do you know your trim level? Manufacturer often offer different sounds systems and the lower ones are missing some speakers. And since producing a separate panel without the holes would be way more expensive, they're using fake covers for a fraction of the cost.

And there is Logitech level BS where they spend extra money to fake tweeters... (Logitech Z333)

- According to the Seller this is the Full package, but even at the time I doubted that as it has some things missing like those neat Auto Seatbelts, heated mirrors and the secruity alarm. At the time I just thought its a thing of it being an older 92' model, but this tweeter situation has me believing otherwise....
  
  Either way, gonna have to build in some proper ones soon

  Is there a wire nearby? Both times I had a trim level with missing speakers the wires were run to the hole.

  OMG the 90s auto-belts! i had a 91 MX-6 with that 'feature'. I'm glad you like yours but I am glad auto makers left that trend behind

  Autoseatbelts were likely a lower trim option. They had to have those or airbags and airbags were more expensive. So that's an indicator it may be slightly higher trim.

- Yep, it's a trim level thing.
  
  I worked in an import dealer for a while back then, lots of upgrades installed by the mechanics, saw how sub harnesses and components to complete an upgrade came as a package. Those guys were fast, knew the shortcuts to get things installed without taking half the car apart.

At least they won’t break.

And they saved like 5 bucks on them.

Hah! You underestimate the genius of the engineers.

The radio is pumped into the frame spaces; by careful engineering and the use of baffles and angles, by the time the sound comes out of the holes, it's perfectly within in the 2kHz - 20kHz range.

Only amateur car builders would hook up actual speakers to produce this audio.
