I don't have any pictures of the actual buildup of this...but it was pretty friggin easy, and It made my stereo sound a lot better.... I picked up some $20 tweeters from this "Princess Auto" place....they have random shit, always lots of car audio stuff, but you can pick them up anywhere... All you need to do this job, is a phillips screwdriver, an x-acto knife, (I used a steak knife to cut out the wood part, but you can use anything that'll work), some "Goop" glue, and some speaker wire... Here's the final product....fits nice and flush with the door panel... 1. Take off the door panel. 2. Mark, and cut the holes for the tweeters (Cut the hole smaller than the tweeter, so it sits on top but won't wall through) 3. Place said tweeter in hole.... 4. Goop the SHIT out of the back of the tweeter. 5. Now splice your front speaker wires and run them through the rubber tube between the car's frame and the door. 6. Hook up the tweeter! 7. Put panel back on door. 8. Enjoy the new highs ;D If I can manage to get into my freakin car I'll take pictures of the back of the panel, that'll probably make this easier to understand...altho not that hard. ;D

You may not wish to simply splice them into the wires for the front speakers, especially if you are running the speakers off the head unit. Splicing them will change the ohm load the head unit sees. Some units may burn out if you present them with too low an ohm load.
Also, alot of tweeters come with a capacitor that is run inline to act as a crossover. If yours didn't you should get one to protect the tweeter from low frequencies.
