I opened up my door panel today and their are some pol tweeters installed as well as pioneer speakers. Im not sure if these are stock? If they are not stock are they any good?

I didnt see any numbers on the speakers or the tweeters just t he names so i dont know what models they are. But i didnt see a wide selection of either on circuit city so im assuming theirs not many different models.


Also i bought a pioneer hu at circuit city and they installed it but it seems they didn't hook up the tweeters. The tweeters have cables running them up to the dash i believe how would i wire them in. Well i know how but rather ware would i wire them in.

 

Are what any good? You really should use a better thread title if you want more help.

 

The speakers and tweeters.

 

Circuit city normally uses a "Smart harness," which prevents them from actually wiring the harness. It is just plug-n-play. If separate wires are run for the tweeters I can almost guarantee that they didn't wire them up. Take out the deck and look at it. There is info on how to take out the stereo in this forum. As far as stock vs. aftermarket, if there is speaker wire run for the tweeter I can almost assure you they are aftermarket.

 

The same kind of aftermarket wire was ran for the door speakers to. When i brought it in their was a harness hooked into the stock hu but all the speakers had separate wires that were setting behind the hu unplugged. (my radio didnt work until i had circuit city install the new hu)

 

ahh, they hardwired the stereo into the car then? I would ask the installers. I know that circuit city has a worksmanship warranty (although with the bankruptcy and closing of some stores I dunno how it will work) they may tell you that the tweeters are blow/don't work, which is possible. This may sound dumb but many times I see this at work, customers coming back stating that the speakers don't work, but they haven't tried fading and balancing. (Sometimes it is faded or balanced to only some of the speakers). may wanna try that first.

 

just tried the fad and balance thing. I turned them all the way up and down and never got sound from the tweeters

 

there are a lot of possibilities about how things could be wired and
what the problem is.
the stock speaker wiring goes through the cars harness into each door,
where wires then go to both the woofer and tweeter.
aftermarket components usually have a crossover, so the speaker wires
would lead to the crossover, and then one set of wires would go from the
crossover to the woofer, and another set to the tweeter. some people
put the crossovers in the door, in which case you still have only pair of
wires entering the door, and some people put them in the car, in which
case two separate speaker wire pairs will enter the door.
have your confirmed that the speaker wires under your dash actually
lead to the doors? some people add an external amp in the trunk, then
run the speaker wire up to the dash and tie them into the factory harness
rather than running it all the way into the doors.

 

Those are the tweeters and i assume that box is the cross over and it is in the door. Now that i understand more how the tweeters work and that i took the rear panel behind the seats off and found 2 wires that ended their. ( looks as if the previous owner had headrest speakers which he removed) So i believe the 2 wires that die behind the hu are from the wire ran for rear speakers. with this said what could be the cause for the tweeters not working.

 

yes, that box is the crossover.
first make sure when you're listening that what you're listening to has high
enough frequencies that they play through the tweeter; that's the crossover's
job - to divide the music into high and low frequencies sending each only to
the appropriate speaker. If you're listening to the news, maybe nothing
will come out of the tweeter.
then make sure that the wires coming into the doors go to the crossover
first and that there are wires going from the crossover to both the woofer
and the tweeter - someone could have run the wires directly to the
woofer bypassing the crossover and tweeter. If it's all hooked up
correctly, it could be bad tweeters or bad crossovers.
