    Help wiring up my tweeters!

    I picked up a pair of sail panel tweeters and am going to be installing my whole stereo system in the next week. I've located the wires behind the speakers to connect them up but I'm not sure where on my speaker to connect them? Using some Polk 5 1/4 two ways that have a small resistor going to the tweeter but I'm wanting to wire in the sail panel tweeters to these. Here's what I'm looking at...



    Intially I was going to be using my Polk/Momo two ways with an outboard crossover and was simply going to wire them into that, easy enough. The right side fits in perfect to the stock location strangely enough (it's a 6 1/2) but the left side doesn't fit due to all the wiring so I've opted to put those in the rear...also since my Polk/Momo components won't fit anywhere without cutting. My other thought was simply run wires to the rear to the crossovers anyways?

    The rears will be ran off my Alpine 4ch amp and the sub will be bridged off channels 3 and 4. Ran this same setup in my focus with great results. The fronts will be run off the headunit. I'm somewhat of an audio newb but I know enough to set it up. Any help is appreciated though, hope I didn't confuse anyone.

    Here's everything I was hoping to use


    Again though, the components won't fit anywhere so I'm leaving them out in favor of my regular Polk 5 1/4's.

      Peel the sticker off the back of that speaker, see if you can remove the tweeter, put the tweeter in the sail panel and use the wires that went to it again.


      BTW: use the amp on the fronts and the sub, deck power on the rears.

        Thanks for the input. I'll check into that tonight :up: In my Focus I had the larger component set up front on the amp and it sounded incredible. I'd like to have the higher quality polk/momo's on amp for this set up so maybe I'll see if I can move some wires around so I can mount them in the front.

          This is not a focus, this is an E30. The rules changed.
