I just replaced my Bose system. I ran new wires directly from the new HU and now I can't hear the stock tweeters. Can I access them by hooking up the stock left and right channel off of the harness?

mclarke

the stock tweeters are usually wired into a crossover which is installed in the door (usually).. now if you can wires directly to the front speakers im guessing you did not hook them up.. locate the cross over (sometimes its just a capacitor on the tweeter, if thats the case then just tap the tweeter wires into the wires you ran)

hope this helps, lemme know if i can help anymore

cool... um, I'm not sure what any of that looks like, lol. I'm pretty noob to stereo equipment. When I ran the new wire, I took the crossovers/amps out of the door, and I used the stock enclosures. Am I going to have to look in the A-pillar? or will I have to put the crossovers back in?
thanks mclarke

you can just tap them in, but they need to have some sort of bass blocker on them to prevent them from trying to play bass, just high's... you can just goto a audio store and purchase some for your tweeters then tap them in!

so... just run wires to them like i did my front and rear speakers? when i run them to the HU, would i tap them in with the front speakers? sorry to sound so dumb

mclarke

no no no, its ok you dont sound dumb, just uneducated about these things which is ok, we all cant know everything

you can tap them in anywhere, tap the positive wire from the tweeter into the positive to the front speaker, same goes with the negative, hope that clears it up a bit

can I just use the stock amplifiers and run the wire off of the wiring harness?

I'm assuming that the stock amplifier has a bass blocker, but I may be wrong.

Thanks

it should, from what i *believe* they do, and yes you could, its only really a 2$ total parts cost if you head to the local audio shop...
