[John Comma Smith]

Hello everybody.

I was looking over my car and decided to look at the factory tweeters
and I realized that both of them weren't working. Before I rush out an
buy new ones I was hoping that someone could help me locate the wiring
diagram for my car. It is a '96 Honda Accord EX Sedan. All I need to
know is the color of the wires that hook up to the speakers and the way
they are wired to the HU. Much thanks in advance.

Not sure what color but the tweeters are wiered to the front door spkrs

That is kindof what I figured. But another question, how do you think
they are wired in, in parallel or series? How would this affect resistance?

They are wired parallel. They would use a capacitor (6db crossover filter)
in series on the positive lead so impedance is not an issue. Just do like
wise with whatever you use, but use the right spec cap of course. Doing it
like this however may make it difficult to match the tweeter output level to
your midrange unless you know how to fabricate an attenuator, aka L pad.

So in other words, it would just be easier to buy some components? By
any chance do you have more detailed info on what size capacitor I need
and such? Thank you very much.
