Just got a new set of tweeters that a guy on here sent me and I'm curious as to how to wire my tweeters on my car. My car did not come w/ stock tweeters so there is no already made harness nor is there wiring to that section. I can make the harness(or buy one) no problem, but the wiring might be a small problem. Can you guys help me out? Grazi.

Wait a tic, you bought a set of tweeters that came out of a celica already? In order to wire those up I believe you have to have a crossover box that will divide the sound into the seperate mid range and treble channels. Other wise I really dont know how you would wire those in because the stock signals would just sound like butt, and probably blow the tweeters. That's as far as I know though correct me if I'm wrong please.

well first off dude, You live 20 min. away from me in Portland. But I'm in Corvallis thinking about doing the install. So if you don't mind driving down here, then we got a deal.  Now, on the second reply, The tweeters were not originally in the celica, or in a celica period. They are just tweeters I bought from someone on the site. The only thing that I was talking about getting from another celica were the tweeter holsters. Now, as far as the install goes, that makes sense, what you said, but you gotta figure, not everyone has tweeters, so there's gotta be an easy way to do this. I have an aftermarket deck if that helps. But I don't know.

Use a holesaw to cut a space for them, and use the flush mounts. buy a bass block off of ebay or your local audio shop, then you can splice into the line. Or you can buy crossover's but decent ones are gonn cost you.

check what kind of tweeters they are, some come with the crossovers built in so all u have to do is connect it to your speaker.

BAHHH!! Crossover nothin. I ran my front two straight off two wires from my HU and the back 2 are run off the same wires as my rear component speakers. They sound great and it was easy as |-|3LL to do. BTW you can get cheap tweeters w/ built in crossover almost anywhere and I've only found a few w/out it. Not saying that yours will have it for sure, but most new ones do if they're 1/2 decent.
