I have the standard audio package and I want to add tweeters. What do I need, in addition to the tweeters?

 

The standard coaxial speakers that come with the stereo have integrated tweeters. Why do you want extra tweeters?

 

I added tweeters to my system and now it sounds so much better.

 

Higher Quality sound.

 

twitter

 

Tweeter drank beer, because, well, tweeter drinks beer.

 

The easiest way to add tweeters to a stock setup is to get a "scotch clamp"(its what I call them) and splice into the current speaker wire. I ran mine and mounted them in the top of the door where the triangle peice is. The scotch clamp allows you to splice without actually cutting your current wires. Obviously if you decide to amp your doors then hooking them to the amp may be the best thing. I can take pics of where I mounted them if you would like.

here is a link to the clamp

 

Add a cross-over. Separates the bass to main speaker and highs to the tweeter. by splicing, the tweeter will try to use the bass also, which it is not made for

 

NO NO NO NO NO

t-taps/scotch locks/whatever you wanna call them are ghetto and lazy and WILL come undone over time. Solder or a Military Splice is the only way to make connections.

This thread is full of fail. THere is no point in adding tweeters to a stock system. Go out and get yourself a nice set of components with a crossover. Tweeters wont do anything if your still running all factory speakers except give you a brighter, harsher sound.

 

High quality sound will be achieved by getting better speakers and putting a lot of power to them. Adding more treble off the stock deck is just gonna hurt your ears even more than the stock speakers alone do.

 

in addition to tweeters you need some speaker wire, a crossover and a midrange speaker

 

I just got a pair of 3-way coax Pioneers for mine and they sound fine. Your overall best bet is to get a full component set with a midrange driver, a tweeter, and a crossover that filters the right frequencies to the right driver. For anyone who likes 7khz or so in their music, and likes their music somewhat loud, know that full ranges just don't cut it audibly.

Check out ebay and look at some Kicker or Audiobahn component speakers. They are relatively inexpensive and actually sound pretty decent. I know lots of people are not for ebay, but I've never had a problem.
