fitting tweeters

[Saxonator]

Hi

Iv gotten sum Infinity 5010 cs references and gotten tweeters with them, how do i go about wiring them up ?

havnt got any wiring with them an think its pretty shit they dont supply you with them as its making me more confused

[Scott]

they dont give wiring smileys/smiley5.gif

they should!

Have you got instructions with them?

[Craig]

yeh they will have come with crossovers u wire everything from there

[Saxonator]

yeah i have instructions

i also have the cross over for them too, thats what you dont get the wiring with

the tweeters do have wires connected to them but nothing for the cross overs

[Craig]

wires go like this

HU-Crossover-Tweeters/components

so in other words run wires from headunit to crossovers then run your components and tweeters straight from the
crossovers smileys/smiley20.gif

[Craig]

but u have to buy the wiring

[Saxonator]

that makes sense but that means i have to get sum wire then ?

Edit: you posted faster than me lol

[Craig]

lol
u need some spade connectors i think i jsut used ordinary speaker wire

[Saxonator]

yeah iv used spade connectors for the speakers already, just that iv finally got time to get the tweeters sorted today

il just go to car electrics store then

right i want to put the cross overs in the back pocket of the door cards

the wires that come from the HU that go to the speakers are the wires i put into the cross overs then i get another wire to wire from the cross over to the speaker then plug the tweeters into the cross over or speaker as i have 4 terminals on each speaker (2+ and 2-)

[Craig]

yeh sounds about right

[Saxonator]

ok iv gotten the wire, will go an fit it all now unless i get stuck as i usually do lol

[Craig]

good luck smileys/smiley20.gif

[Saxonator]

ok i got as far as connecting1 tweeter then went into a hissy fit trying to fit it all

ended up disconnecting speakers and leaving all tools in there, came in an went to bed now just woke up as was really tired lol

will try again next week as workin weekend now smileys/smiley13.gif

what do the cross overs you have look like? i have vibe black hex speakers and they have built in tweeters so the crossovers on mine plug in the back and side tweeter and woofer does your cross over not have two audio cables going in and four coming out?

[Saxonator]

this is what iv got

cross overs (http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/popup_image.php?pID=3828)

[VTaaRon]

there are three pairs so one should be the two ends from the head unit then connect the other 2 pairs one to the speaker and one to the tweeter and youre set make sure you fasten it down tho dont want it rattling in the door frame

[Saxonator]

yeah thats what id done, but when it came to fitting it all in an putting tweeter an cross over away i lost it lol

[VTaaRon]

yeah the pain in the fingertips is the worst pulling bits out and trying to get it tidy! i just made some brackets for my parcel shelf and fitted crossovers ill find a pic
