Hello everyone.

I got a used pair of OEM tweeters for my EK3 which is all nice and good.
The problem is that I'm told that my EDM spec car didn't come with the cable that splits the signal from the front speakers to the tweeters so I can't really install them. I lack the tools and knowledge to solder the wires and would much prefer a clean, elegant OEM install.

If you know the part number for this cable (red arrow in the pic) please tell me. My local dealer was less than helpful.



Thanks for your time.

 

well, there is a diy fix, but it won't be pretty. You need to depin the woofer connector, and attach a wire to the proper terminals along with the woofer cable and run it to the tweeter, you will have to most likely drop the harness connector on the tweeter. Just don't cut past the thing wrapped in foam, it's a crossover. Might I add, the tweeters do close to nothing. I could barely hear them even on a song with only highs. However, my tweets from the polk comps I installed could very well be a speaker on their own.

 

Thanks for the input.

 

any update on this as im in the middle of doing this myself?

i have an ek9 and the passenger side has a plug to plug it straight in but the drivers side doesnt.

i have infinity kappa speakers installed with their own crossover and im just confused where join my tweeter wires to, do i have to bridge it all the way down to the orig speaker wire?

 

You would need the entire door harness! Just buy a crossover and install in in the door. Make sure to throughly protect it from the elements!

 

i think the stock tweeters have crossovers

There built into the door harness.

 

anyone give a good description of what this will look like in the drivers side door? the crossover i should join the tweeter wires to i mean

 

The crossover is not in the door if you didn't already have the tweeters. If using an aftermarket one it should be very easy, and instructions clear.

 

see heres the wierd thing = the passenger side did have a crossover, cos the tweeter plugged straigt in. im just confused about the drivers

 

You actually saw the x-over? Or just the plug?

 

its a plug thats not connected to anything which a standard civic with tweeters has, and the tweeter plugs straight in and the tweeter on that side wrks

 

exactly like the plug diagram above

 

Sorry to disappoint you cingli but I kinda put this on hold until I can get my hands on some OEM cable. Nothing less will do.
