Tweeters
Hi all, I am thinking of upgrading my manual door mirrors to electric ones and was thinking that the space vacated by the adjusting handles may be a good place to install some tweeters - any one done this?

Re: Tweeters
My TF already has tweeters fitted, but I have just upgraded my door speakers and it was more of an issue finding space for the crossover unit - the 'standard TF' ones don't use anything so hi-tech 
....I personally wouldn't bother and just upgrade to some decent speakers to replace the stock ones (practically anything can be considered an upgrade and there are loads out there!).door cards off, unscrew three screws, un plug two wires, the only semi tricky part is removing the three spot rivets and glued in speakers, and new ones in.....and thats not a big deal...

Re: Tweeters
As above. You are better off replacing the main door speakers than tweeters
You can get tweeters in the main door speakers anyway

Re: Tweeters
That wouldn't be a bad position for them actually - and would cover the inside of the cheeter if you are re-using the originalsgwp wrote:Hi all, I am thinking of upgrading my manual door mirrors to electric ones and was thinking that the space vacated by the adjusting handles may be a good place to install some tweeters - any one done this?
A better position, apparently, is on the winscreen A-pillars, but I have put mine in the same position as the MY2000 (which actually isn't ideal as your right arm obscures the speaker when you are holding the steering wheel... d'oh!)

Heres a mad, off the wall idea, what about using the void left for mood lighting,

Re: Tweeters
Mood lighting Cool but I think even in my prime I would have had a hard time getting jiggy in a TF!
On my up grade, really very impressed now we have everything bedded in, however with hindsight, i think i might have just gone for full range speakers and saved myself a bit of work and just left the factory tweeters in place but disconnected....however I do recommend Juice speakers if you want good sound that doesn't break the bank!
