Initial Results after adding Tweeters

[netsinah]

Unfortunately I’m addicted and look at almost all Forum posts, so I’d already seen yours some time ago. My preference is to do the easier and less expensive single tweeter mod, outlined in this particular thread. Best of luck selling your speaker mounts that I know you worked hard to create, which will no doubt result in better sound with the right speakers.

I’m relying upon the advice from this thread for my install, so I’ll encourage everyone to post as many helpful pointers as possible. I’m now just waiting for the clamps that I’ve ordered before doing this “Emira surgery” (lol). Your guidance is invaluable, MUCH appreciated, and makes this Forum the best tool in my toolbox! TY x 10!!

Here are some useful materials and tools that I used which you can consider getting (all available on Amazon) should you not already have them.

I used this to poke a guiding marker hole on the small plastic tabs of the tweeter housing in the A-pilar trim. Since it's a small tab it will help center the drill bit when making the hole for the zip ties.

This I used for the delicate surgical cutting of the speaker wire cloth wrap.

This is to wrap the wiring once you tapped into the wires.

Would anyone happen to have the wiring colors for the tweeter signals +/-?

I see referenced:

Drivers side - signal wires are Blue/white stripe and purple, unsure of polarity.
Passenger side - signal wires are yellow/white stripe and purple/green stripe, unsure of polarity.

Solid Blue -> negative
Purple/White Stripe -> positive

Sold Yellow -> negative
Purple/Green Stripe -> positive

Anyone know what ohm rating the front door speakers are running at? I read the mid driver is powered separately from the tweeter but havent found the ohm rating on either/both, thanks! (I did try search as well nothing came up)
