Trying to install tweeter pods on the front doors.. most people say the existing wire should already be there, unfortunately it's not...

From checking what the options would be from factory there's either this.. which is the correct loom for the tweeter pods speakers

Or this... which is for electric heated wingmirrors..

Obviously you can only fit one of these two.. but there's nothing which caters for both! Anyone have any ideas?

Have you taken the door card to check to see if they haven't been push down, what stereo do you have as if its upgraded then you would use a crossover unit in the gap by the kick panel speaker as the cable should run via there, for the life of me I can't remember the wire colours.

I think the tweeter piggy backs of the front door speaker do a search on line as there should be info about this.

When I fitted the tweeters in the wing mirror pods I had no wiring either, had to pull new cables from the footwell kick panels through the door grommet and into the door. I had the standard audio, not the premium.

Thanks
