How to hook up tweeters

The easy way to hook up tweeters in your ride is be to connect them to your front speakers or rear 6/9 speakers. However, you will need to purchase bass blockers so that your can't blow your tweeters out. Follow the steps below:

Steps:

1) Make sure that your radio is off so that you can un-screw your speakers and tap into the wires that run to the radio. What I usually do is unplug the the wire from the terminals and twist the wires from the tweeters to that end. Most of the time you have to purchase additional speaker wire because the wires that come with the tweeters are usually too short.

2) Now, rather your planning on hooking up the tweeters through your front or rear speakers. you still have to make sure that you drill a whole through the side panel and insert the wires from the out side of the panel. This will allow you to mount the tweeters on the panel once you install them.

3) This is very IMPORTANT. So not that you have the tweeter speaker wires going through the side panel, you need to connect the tweeter wire to the bass blocker, and the bass blocker to the extra speaker wire. All you have to do is twist one end of the bass blocker to one end of the tweeter wire and the other end of the bass block to the one end of the extra speaker wire, and put black electrical tape over it. Now, you have to twist the other end of the tweeter wire to the other end of the extra speaker wire and rape black electrical tape over it as well.

4) After you have run the wires into place, take the end of the speaker wire that is running from the tweeters and stick it into or rape it around the end of the terminal of the interior speakers.

5) At this point you should be able to turn on your radio and hear sound coming from your tweeters.

6) Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the other tweeter.

7) In addition, I had connected 4 tweeters in my last car. I had two bridged off the front speakers and the other two bridged off the rear.

8) I must WARN you that two is enough. I nearly blown my ear drums with four.If you found this helpful. Please feel free to post a note. Thanks and enjoy.
