I already posted this on the Audio forum but i haven't gotten an answer yet and i want to finish installing this tonight, so here it goes...I just purchased a new cd player and speakers and the guy i bought it from gave a couple of tweeters for free, the problem is they don't have instructions, i've installed several stereos before but i never installed tweeters, anyway my question is, what do i hook them up to? Do i just wire them to the front speakers or the head unit? :confused: Thanks.

ideally you need a crossover, but as a quick solution just wire them to the front speakers in parallel (+ to + and - to -)

Yeah, you def need some crossovers so you don't get the lower frequency notes going to the tweeters.

okay, the box says that they have built-in crossovers, so does that mean i can just wire them to the speakers like IveBeenBad said.

Yeh you can wire them up like that, but the built in crossover is more than likely a capacitor
