REPOSTED FROM CLUBPROTEGE. ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 10/14/2005.
I picked up these from a local guy (david... don't know his forum name) on wednesday when I went to txmzd2gen's birthday party... the guy is getting rid of his car so he told me I could have whatever I wanted... I saw his P5 was an 03 so I jacked the tweeters WITH the necessary wiring
the geniuses at mazda decided to run the tweeter wires with the mirror harness, so that means you either have to buy the mirrors that HAS the wiring, or you can take the wires off the mirror pigtail harness and install them in your s*** that doesn't have it.... which is what I did....
you need to take off the door panel and then pull the pins with wires attached from the mirror connectors... you need a flat blade precision screw driver to lift up the plastic lock tabs to pull the metal pins out... I'm glad I got the pins from BOTH ends of the connectors because my door harness does NOT have the wiring for the tweeters! I had to run wires and splice them into the existing speaker wires
YES, you can just cut the wires and splice them in yourself and not having to deal with this connector s***... but I wanted to make everything factory plug and play for ease of removal/installation in the future
YES they're stock s*** 4Ω 25W tweeters, YES I know they "suck", YES it has a sorry excuse of a "crossover" via a 50V 1F capacitor
the fact is though, they have nice speaker grilles and I can cram whatever aftermarket s*** that'll fit in there I want later... no, you can't get just the speaker grilles themselves... you have to buy the WHOLE assembly, tweeter and all
I will give some notes so that people who want to sell this s*** or are pulling this s*** from a junk yard can get what they need... sellers doing this s*** can sell their s*** for more value
