Tweeter installation

[pegg]

Hey guys me again!

im having trouble figuring out where im supposed to thread wire through to sit my tweeters up on dash level. i wanted to get the shop to install but they only install the tweeters where the splits are :S

the guy at the shop said id be going through some vents and thats about all i know, if theres any links to installing these baddies i would appreciate it alot, or if someone could give me a quick overview of what i need to do i may be able to work it out!

anyway thanks for any suggestions/help and i will reply to you guys to let you know how i went!

You have to take off the side panels of the dash (where the holes for the door vents connect to the doors). From there you can either mount them on the A pillars just above the dash or in the standard locations underneath the demister vent panels (screws are inside the vents).

These panels are visible when you opend the doors and look at the side of the dash.


I would recommend installing them in the A pillars as the standard locations arent that good for SQ.

I mounted mine in the black plastic cover that goes on the other side of the side mirrors (assuming you don't have manual side mirrors, 'cause then you'd have a handle there..)

Looked schmik and very stock-like.

All it took was a hole-saw and some TLC

Yep thats a good spot too, but then you pretty much have to have the crossover inside the door, unless you wanna run an extra set of wires into the door.

In my opinion crossovers should always be mounted in the kicks etc as the kind of punishment they'll receive in the doors isnt too good for them (you could always seal them in plastic i suppose).

for a standard looking install. like above you take the demister vents off(near windsceen), then take factory tweeters out.get your speaker wire and start feeding it down where the factory wires go while you have the underdash cover down and a minute or 2 you should spot them and grab them . then locate crossovers a said before in or on kick panels.

hope this helps!
