E30 Zone

Basically you know the tweeter pods you get for the e30, which go in the corner of the doors, wanted to find out how to take the tweeters out without breaking it, i wwant to take the nokia tweeters out and put my own ones in there.....

any help would be helpful....

I've managed to cut them out with a stanley knife in the past. You could also try a Dremel or similar to cut them out.

Once you've weakened the factory glue, they tend to crack out quite cleanly.

yeah ive been trying to do that but didnt want to break the plastic bit that holds the tweeter in...

I had regular (flat) covers on there and I just bought a pair of Alpine tweeters with their own pods and fitted them - they look fine.
JBL are better quality however and one important thing: throw away the stupid capacitor and fit a proper 2 way crossover from Maplin.

By using the supplied capacitor the tweeter will get too much mid and low frequency still, flap around too much, and not sound half as good as it really should. Tweeters hate flapping around (they go very non-linear), they should hardly be moving at all. The crossover will give you roughly twice the bass attenuation for the tweeter drive allowing you a) more volume and b) better sound.

Try and remove some of the glue with a craft knife. Then mine just popped out with some gentle persuasion.
