[matbry01]

If it's straight out of another car factory fitted then chances are it will have crude crossovers built into them so you should be able to plug 'em in fine.

So to hijack, but I keep seeing people saying about tweeters... What are they?

 

[pritchp]

these (small speakers on the dash)

they wont plug strate in :lol: they are in a adapter and the holes in the faulse ones are a bit small for the van ones so put the bench grinder to them to sand them down a bit and they fit snug into the mouldings for them

Fair enough! I suppose even if it came to it the plugs could be ripped off and wires joined (like all my speakers lol).

Take it it's all working then?

 

[matbry01]

Dunno yet will be doing it today

Our cars have them in, just look on the front of the dash and there are two small circle grills, if u listen closely to them they basically deal with the high output sounds, which is why some quite bassy songs sound better

The CUP doesn't have tweeters right? I can see the grills for them on the dash but I think they are blanks... Would a CUP be wired for tweeters is it just a case of buying some and plugging them in?

Having followed many of the tweeter/speaker threads.
It appears that some cars have fake tweeters, with wires connected to them, whilst other cars have the fakes but no wires.

Likewise with some cars having wiring there for rear speakers, whilst some dont

 

[maggi200]

Mine had neither

 

[holliedynamique]

im pretty sure if you have the upgraded stereo system you should have the tweeters however i know some gordini owners don't have them either which seems strange as im sure the radio set up was the same in the brochure for the dynamique and gordini, they like to make things complicated and different lol

 

[maggi200]

Yes it does appear to be rather inconsistent! Just take the opportunity to wire it up properly with some decent wire...

 

[DrDrew]

Think I remember reading somewhere that at least some o the gordini's have their tweeters with the others in the front doors

 

[maggi200]

You mean they have coaxial rather than component speakers up front? As they try to do it all

 

[DrDrew]

From RUK about gordini 133 speakers

The door speakers do have tweeters built into them, this is why there are no dash top ones

 

[maggi200]

So what they mean is: we used cheaper, coaxials rather than proper components!

but then spent the price difference installing a fake tweeter to fill the hole :roll:

Found out yesterday my cup doesn't have tweeters but does have blanks with the wire attached, which is a result...

 

[Courtney]

I understand that in a cup version it's about reducing weight right? So why bother putting the wires and fake tweeters in? Wouldn't it make more sense to put in a blank plate over the top?
