According to the brochure my i30 SLX is supposed to have 6 speakers. Yet, I can only see 4 of them, one in each door.

Where are the extra 2 speakers hiding?

I am not a great help - pretty ignorant about this car stuff. I have an SLX and the brochure says "six speakers (including two tweeters)". I am guessing these are the two different-looking speakers you cannot find.

I don't know what tweeters in the i30 look like but I found this discussion with (dodgy) pictures on wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tweeter

The tweeters are also in the front doors adjacent to where the wing mirrors are mounted. You can identify them by the hundreds of sound holes (a technical term) in a triangular shape. Tweeters reproduce the higher frequency sounds in music. Google "tweeter" and you will find a much better explanation than my one.

Yeah, Hyundai cheated by counting the tweeters in their '6 speakers' where in actual fact they meant 2 component speakers and 2 single cone speakers. As Paolo5 stated, they are located in the triangular trim next to the front passenger and driver side window.

Thanks guys. Found them. Although I can't hear if anything's coming out of them, though. No big deal...

Tad harsh on Hyundai I dare say?
All manufacturer's would class tweets as speakers, in all fairness, they are a speaker. :)  Just a speaker designed to reproduce the higher frequency of the song, same way a sub woofer would be classed as a speaker, however reproduces the lower frequencies :)
