    New Speakers

    I'm looking to replace the speakers in my Bravo because the stock ones are too tinny. I'm probably gonna get these:

    I want to know if I need anything else apart from the adaptors to fit 13cm speakers in my doors. Also, where do I put the crossovers in the system?

    Thanks

    it will be wired HU/Amp > crossover > speakers.
    Are you running the stock HU? as they likely wont be a massive improvement on their own. What are the standard sizes? THe only thing you may find is that they have are too deep, in which case you'll need to either bodge something to move them forward, or not be able to wind your window the whole way down.

    No, I'm not using the stock HU. I've got a JVC KD-G162 that came with the car. I might be swapping it back to a Fiat headunit next week though, because I've got a CD changer I want to install.

    Where will the tweeters come into the equasion? Will it be HU->Crossovers, and then branching off to tweeters and components on each side?

    Not sure what the standard size is for the speakers, but I know the JBL ones will fit ok. It's just the wiring that I don't have a clue with

    Yeah, the tweeter/mid connects directly to the crossover. If you decide to re wire in the doors make sure youre ultra careful with it.

    A mate @ uni didnt replace the seals properly, result = very rusty door.
