Icon2 Installing tweeters in 2000 civic ex sedan?

So I was looking into buying some OEM tweeters to go in the mirror garnishes in my 2000 civic ex 4dr. I need more high sounds since installing my subs. I was wondering, is it prewired for them in an EX? If so is it just plug-n-play? If not, what do I need to wire it and how do I do so? Thanks a lot.

P.S. i tried the search engine, but I can never get good results from it.

not sure if they all are. But if not just run in parallel with the mid-range speaker and it should have a little capacitor on the tweeter. If not you will need a crossover.

So if its not prewired, the mids should have a plug for the tweeters? Or what is a capacitator? Sorry, don't know much about this.

And does anyone know for sure if an ex sedan is prewired? Thanks.

if not prewired then run your own wires from the mid to the tweeter and a capacitor looks like a small cylinder and it keeps certain frequencies from going to the tweeter

So this capacitor will have a place to put the tweeter wires?

And if I were to take off the mirror garnishes, could I tell from there if it's pre-wired? If so I just need to figure out how to take them off.

On my 2000 si the plug for the tweeters is clipped onto the door behind the door panel.

Okay, so it sounds like the wiring should be pretty accessible. Ill take off a door panel this weekend to make sure. Wheres a good place to buy these? Cheapest Ive found is $45 shipped for both sides, even on eBay. Thanks again!

nope they are not prewired. In my car I tapped into the speaker wiring and ran it to the tweeters. I used Si tweeters but I needed to get jdm tweeter pods since the Si ones dont fit the 4dr. see https://honda-tech.com/forums/audio-security-video-27/civic-sedan-oem-tweeters-2449683/ for the part #'s

Ugh, so coupe mirror garnish tweeters won't fit a sedan? And here I was thinking I found a brand new pair for $50, but they're for a coupe..

The only ones that fit are the JDM tweeter pods, not coupe ones. They are rare, and so they cost $$$. I just recieved a set someone was selling here.

you could take your factory mirror trim and fiberglass any tweeter you want.
