Alright Hurstie,
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
are you replacing the factory tweeter too?
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
( I guess so, as your focals have got cross-overs).
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Getting this out can be a bit of a sod.

As no-one's mentioned it already I hope you don't mind me sharing my experience from the other week:
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
the tweeter needs to be uncrewed from its bracket from behind.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The tweeter bracket has 2 screws holding it it
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- these 2 screws also hold on the wing mirror, along with a 3rd screw.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
These screws are glued in

- and a git to get out.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Mine all rounded, so I had to drill them out
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- a big hassle.

Solution 1
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- only undo the screw nearest the windscreen.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
If you can get this out, you can bend the bracket out 90 degrees to unscrew the tweeter, screw your new one in, and bent it back.

this mens you only have to deal with 1 screw, not all of them.

Solution 2
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- only heard this the other day
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- heat up the screw to about 60 degrees, as apparently this melts the glue.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Not sure how to do this in practice though.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Hot air gun? g/f's hair dryer?
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Solution 3
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- get a decent screw driver and put loads of pressure on it when turning.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Cheap screwdrivers bu88er screws up in no time.

As for wiring
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- I used the the standard feed from the loom into the door, but then cut the connection to go into the crossover.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I then used new wiring to go to the woofer and tweeter, but routed it through the existing rubber sleveeves after removing factory wiring.

Cross over location
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- I couldn't fit mine in the arm rest of the door card, but I was fitting Infinity 6.5cs, which might have a larger X-over.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I used some double-sided sticky pads and stuck it about half way up the innerside of the door, next to the door hinges
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
-
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I had to peel back the plastic membrane to do this.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Keeps it out of the way, and close to where the wiring comes in too.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Hope this helps.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Hope it works out OK this weekend.
