    Did you have to remove the old crossovers from the old tweeters?

    yea theres nothing stock about my stereo, i ran new power and ground to the head unit, then RCA cables x 6 out of the head unit to my amp.. from the amp i have 12ga monster cable run to all the speakers/crossovers

    when you remove the stock tweeters the crossovers go with them.. ill post pics in a bit

    I ended up mounting mine in the doors just above my deflex pad for my speaker.
    After v-blocking the inside of the door, I wrapped the whole crossover in electrical tape, cut out the bottom piece so i could get a good bond, then used epoxy in the middle and gasket sealer all around the edges for a more or less waterproof seal. Then I sprayed some quiet kote (or w/e) over the top of all that after it was all mounted up. Worst part was holding the thing in place till the adhesive took hold.... I let it sit for a day before putting doors back on just to make sure it all was going to stay put. I ended up putting my amp in the trunk next to my sub amp, I was going to have to take BFH to the "hump" to get it to fit and I just ccouldn't bring myself to do it...

    I thought the stock tweet just had a small capacitor?

    i didnt look all that close, it might just be a cap.. i used something that size and shape to cut out high frequencies to factory speakers that i replaced with 6" bass drivers
