Default 2000 Civic Custom Tweeter Install

I know its not the best install in the world but I think I did a decent job.

2000 Civic EX sedan

Infinity Kappa 10.9t tweeters

I tapped into the door speakers for power. I did use the included crossovers for the tweeters. Currently everything is running off the head unit, I might add an amp in the future. The audio is significantly improved. Very nice, clear highs.

Driver's side


Passenger side

I have almost the same in my car (infinity kappa 6.5 comp kit). Just letting you know, they respond REALLY well to more wattage/cleaner signal from an amp.

The install looks great, but the grills on those tweeters look ugly.

JMHO.

I used a 2 & 1/2 inch hole saw. The tweeter flush mount needed a 60mm hole and 2 & 1/2 inches is 64mm.

I am not crazy about the grills but I think the great sound is worth it. The flashy grilles are why I have left all the stock covers hiding my Infinity Kappa 63.9i speakers in the front and my Infinity Kappa 693.9i speakers in the back. I prefer keeping my car looking as stock as possible but I did want a set of tweeters to fill out the sound more.

I tried using a hole saw on my door panels and it just tore up the front of the panel. I guess I just suck lol

Is the driver's side closer to the handle for any particular reason?

The tweeters are in identical spots. The driver's door handle is longer due to the door lock switch so technically the handle is closer to the tweeter
