I got some new tweeters but I'm not sure how to hook them up, can I just connect the wires strate to the tweeter?

 

Basically I need to know where the stock cross over is and if I need this big box one or not

 

Any one???????

 

You should use the cross over that came with the new tweeters.

 

It shouldn't matter unless you're increasing the power to the tweeters. I would just hook them up without messing with the factory crossover. It works well I'd leave it.

 

Repost this in the electrical section and those guys will practically grab your hand through this forum and install those tweeters before you know it!!! That section is awesome, I used it this week to install my NAV/DVD head unit. I felt like I called Crutch Field which is also an option for you.

 

I would install the cross over as well. I wouldnt trust the stock stereo to block the DBs for you. Teh stock probably has a different level that the after market ones and I wouldnt rish ruining them. Im sure you can find room for the crossover behind the left and right dash plate when you remove them.

 

Heres how I did mine.

Using a plastic pry tool (or wrap a flat screw driver in cloth) pry the tweeter grill off the stock tweeter. There are 3 clips to unfasten.

Pop out the stock tweeter - I don't believe there were any additional screws.

Unhook the clasp on the wiring harness for the stock speaker. Cut the factory harness off and keep as much wire as possible. Put a big piece of duct tape on the wires so they don't fall into the dash

The yellow stripe wire is negative, purple positive. Soder (my preference) or twist/clip the new speakers in. So it goes factory wire > wire into cross over > wire into tweeter

Reassemble. In my case I had to trim the stock tweeter unit so I could fit the monster tweeter assemble into it.



>>I'd really recommend keeping the cross over so it will be there if you install an aftermarket head unit
