I want to know/see if anybody here replaced the dome tweeters with aftermarket ones. If you have, PLEASE post pictures. I am curious to know if the stock mesh casing will be able to fit back in place with aftermarket tweeters.

 

hmmm not very likely imo even the 6x9 i threw in the back didnt get covered perfectly, the 6.5 did however... so not sure . a good bet is to go on cardomain n see if anyone brags about putting in tweeters

 

Does anyone also know how to get them out? I can't seem to get that mesh stuff off and I'm afraid to break it. My left one is dead and making annoying sounds only on some tracks of music. Maybe this thread should be a sticky if lots of people need help with this.

 

We can make it a sticky. I have no clue how to remove the mesh.

 

Extremely easy. I just read the service manual and it said pry it up very carefully then unplug the tweeter and the sunlight sensor and replace is the reversal. I hope this is what you guys are talking about.

If you guys are talking about the mid-ranges on the ceiling. All you have to do is to pop open the light cover, use a socket and unscrew the bolt in front of the light bulb then carefully wiggle it out. Then there're two screws holding the bracket, unscrew them and take the mid-ranges out.

 

Yup. I changed out my tweets ages ago. Just pop out the grill with finger or a screwdriver (the latter very carefully), disconnect the light sensor and voila. I just took the bracket off, found a piece of plasic to weddge in the back of the new tweet (shorter depth than OEM) and put the brack back on.

 

pics mang!

 

It's too damned cold up here right now to be takin pics mang!! LOL
If no-one does it in the next little while, I'll take some when the car is in the shop w/in the next little while, but that could be a while.

 

 

LOL Sorry dude...if it's warm enough today maybe I'll go and take some shots for you.

 

Yeah i changed out those things when i first got my car and put Massive tweeters in there.... it's pretty easy. I'll also try and get some pics up

 

what are the size of the tweets in the dashboard and on the ceiling? thanks

 

Midrange (between sunshades) are 2 inches

Tweeters (on dash) are 1.5 inches

 

thanks now i know what to get

 

2doe: do you have a picture of your car? I may have seen it around.

 

TL baller, I don't have pics but I have a white 97 2.5tl. I just got it tinted a couple of weeks ago. I do have some 15' rims.

 

Finals coming up, maybe within a week or two before I can take pic. I'm sure other members will have it up in no time before me.

 

btw, i'm more conern on the difficulty of changing the front speakers by the doors. Anything I should becareful about or watch out for?

 

it'd be great to see pics of your tweeters!

as far as changing out the doors (5.25") they're easy. if you want to replace them with bigger speakers (6.5") you can do so but you'll need a baffle ring. i would personally buy 6.5" speakers for the door.

 

I have an aftermarket headunit ... will those speakers still work with it? Or if I buy aftermarkter speakers will it still work?

 

Not really. Just make sure the back of the speaker doesn't interfere with the window operation once it is installed, but there is a fair bit of room fo typically there isn't too much problem with that.

 

i dont know if the tweeters work the same for the 02 but for the 1st gen, the tweeters on the ceiling does not work with aftermarket head units. it sucks..i know


man, this thread is old and there are still no freaking PICS!

 

OK, I have to change one of my tweets tonight, I will take pics of the process for you guys.

 

well? somebody?

 

also did you guys change out the wiring or did you keep stock wiring?? if you did change out the wiring for the tweeters (at the dome), how'd you run it??

 

What brand name and model are you guys using for the tweeters by the dome light, and the ones on the dash? The ones by my dome light are very faint and should probably be replaced, I just don't want to buy some sweet tweets and find out it doesn't fit. Yes I said sweet tweets

 

thats what im trying to find out.. to see if aftermarket tweeters fit in dome light area with stock mesh.

 

The dome speakers are MIDRANGE not tweeters. They are 2 ohms, not 4.

Keep that in mind. Also, those two speakers hook up to the blue wiring harness. Its all part of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and REALLY adds to the surround "effect" especially with classical music.

 

yes, these speaker should NOT be replaced and just added to be used, especially with an aftermarket deck. THis will ruin the stereo effect as they are intended to be used as a center channel and will be too loud if patched into the regular speaker wiring. I fyou have your original deck don't bother replacing them as you won't see any benefit due to the low power.

 

where can you find aftermarket 2" midrange speakers??
