New tweeters - How to wire them?

[ichbintk]

I've taken my old tweeters out and there's two of the blocks going into the tweeters - i.e. 4 wires in total: red+white, brown+ white (on one block) and then just red and brown wires on the other block. Which wires do I connect to my aftermarket tweeters?
Cheers in advance guys and girls

you have a mk3 yeah

one set of wires will go to your door speakers.
the other set will power your tweeters.

try both sets of wires ( just temporarly stick some wires in the plugs and attach the botch up wires to the speaker) and see which set of wires work, they will be the right ones.

getting the + and - the right way round is another story!

Im assuming it is a mk3?

It is a mk 3 but the two connector blocks both go into the tweeters and the block for the doors is on a seperate wire.

just try what I said, only one of the sets of wires will work, the others go down to the door speakers.

I could even explain which ones are the tweeter wires but there is no need, anyway here goes! If you know what a capacitor looks like then the wires you want will have a cap in line (the metal its soldiered to will be the + wire)  the cap will be almost inside the tweeter pod, it looks like a small red battery. you will see it if you look at the bottom of the tweeter pod.

They wont be getting the correct frequency, but you have the crossovers to use yeah?
