Tweeter location?

I got some great speakers for xmas for my truck but I cant figure out where I want to mount the tweeters.

I already have 2 - 12" Kenwood subs in a custom box behind the seats hooked up to 500 watt Kenwood amp wired mono/bridged. Hits hard!
I just got some Rocker Fosgate 6x9s to replace the blown Pioneers in the lower doors thats hooked up to a 350 watt Kenwood amp wired normally to the amp. I sounds good but, all the sound is at the bottom of the truck. Along with the Rockfordfosgate 6x9s I also just got some Alpine componete set, 6 1/2" and tweeters and a Alpine amp and some lower kick pods to mount the componetes in.

The pods will hold the tweeters and 6 1/2, but if I mount it in the lower kick panels all my sound is still all at the bottom. I also have another set of Alpine tweeters that can be rotated in their housing and be mounted just about anywhere. Here lies the problem I can figure out where to mount them so I can get a little sound staging going on up top. I tried putting them in the corner of the windshield between the piller, sounded good but looks like crap.

I was considering mounting them in the plastic defrost vents butI have aftermarket underdash a/c - heater system that I will be installing in the spring. I will need the the vents for defrost..... I can mount them in the center speaker area (underneath) facing up and bounce the sound off the windshield.... but not sure about how it will sound..

How can I get the most of my sound with what I got????
