Concert Souund tweeters in front doors

[siteklt1]

Mine are cooked. Will an aftermarket 3" speaker fit in there?

It's certainly possible. You would have to make some kind of pod to hold it, but I think there should be room. You may run into some depth problems though. The easiest way to tell is to get the measurements of the speakers you wanna run, take off the panel that the old tweeter attaches to and see if there is enough room. I have 1" tweeters in there and there is more than enough room. I could probably fit 3 or 4 back there.

I haven't found any direct replacements. Some kind custom setup will be required.

It is simple to remove your tweeters to see what you are up against. Remove the screw by the handle and carefully work the speaker panel off the handle. The speaker is glued onto the panel, so use a scraper to separate it. There a small rectangular frame/spacer between the speaker and the grill. It has alignment pins on it. You likely have to cut slots into a replacement tweeter deck to align it.

Let me know if you find any specs on the original speaker or any replacment speakers.

it's plastic welded in place, and required drilling to remove it. I used some delco tweeters out of a vette back there.

I put aftermarket 1" tweeters in my wagon's CS II door panel inserts. Took me about 2 hours for both. The stock tweeters can be disassembled (although you destroy them when you do that) and then used as a mounting setup for the new ones. I used a drill press and a hole saw to put the new ones in, then secured them with hot glue. They've been fine since.

I remember you mentioning that before. You were supposed to get me some info on those.

Sounds like what I was planning to do. There was some Onkyo Delco tweeters for sale real cheap [like 200 for $10... not a typo). I was just trying to get some info on the OEM tweeters, like power rating, impedance, and frequency response to see if they were close.

I don't see any of us ever finding out that information, and since they're tweeters, I feel it's a moot point. They're wired off the front speakers

I no longer have the car, so it would be up to Cory to pull the door handle bezel and get you a part #

Of course they would wired off the front speakers, but these actually had a 2nd order high-pass filter and were not just the usual cheap junk found in most GM cars.
Other reasons that I want the info

If you could remember the year of the vette and if it was an optional or standard system, I could probably get the part numbers.

that's the thing, I don't remember. I tried quick looking yesterday but couldn't find anything. They're square, and IIRC I thought the auction said mids 90s vette. It's been 4yrs..
