Hey all,

I have no idea about ICE and the like... So I\'m sure other\'s here do ;)

My FD came with tweeters at the back and by the A pillars... But they never seemed to work, and the one\'s on the A pillar kept annoying me. So foolishly the other day I just snipped the wires to the tweeters, stuffed the wires down into the door card and put in fresh A pillar triangles.

D\'oh! As now, all my speakers stopped working, so out came the stereo and I found if I unplugged the rear set of speakers the fronts would work.

So I\'m looking to just stick in some new speakers (should be OK to fit those I reckon), but why would the rears stop working if I removed the tweeters from the front??? And they didn\'t do anything anyway?????

Can I just bin all the crossovers and tweeters without concequence? ANd use the origional wiring? Not an ice junkie, but would like 4 speakers ;)

sounds like a wiring jumble best bet is pull all the crossovers and tweeters out and start again i think

Bummer... I\'m just hoping that the origional wiring is all in teact, don\'t fancy starting again with all the speaker cable...

its no problem the wiring must still be there just get rid of the tweeters and cross over wiring that should leave you with just a + and - for each speaker
