    OEM tweeter help

    my driver side door tweeter doesn't work (bought car that way)

    i went to swap the front speakers out for some eclipse and assumed it was just a broken crossover on the stock speaker. But that isn't the case.

    I went to tap the tweeter wire into the other speaker wire for the 4.5,... and it still doesn't work.

    I did this to the other side (tap the tweeter wire with the speaker wire) and that side works.

    What else can i check?

    If it doesn't work, chances are it is blown. My driver's side tweeter is blown as well.

      so i take it that the wiring going up to the tweeter USUALLY is NOT the case?

        nearly all the time the wiring will be fine.

        It's a good time to replace the tweeters :).

            The tweeter runs off of the speaker in the kick panel. Pull the kick panel off and see if the wires came loose.
