Well I recetly noticed that under load our Premium sound isn't so premium as for our tweeters they tend to crackle ......
I recently accuired 2 Mark Levinson tweeter/midrange speakers from work.....
Not going to say how but the list price for the baby's are $260.00 a piece!
I paid nothing!

So I did some research in the DIY section on how to remove tweeters and now am ready to do this DIY...

Step 1. I wasn't able to put the midrange in the car because simpley there was no room up in dashboard to do so so I removed the tweeters from the the Lexus GS ASSy.

Step 2. I removed the tweeters from My si.(not to bad) (Special thanx to brolewis and his DIY- Front Speaker/Tweeter Install Guide)

Step 3. I removed the Si Tweeters from the housing not to hard just need a small pick.
Upon doing so i noticed the protective screen came off with the tweeter.(this protects the tweeter membrain from being damaged and helps direct sound)

Step 4. I removed Si's Tweeter protective screen from both speakers and Placed them over the Mark Levinson ones's.(what do you know perfect fit!)

Step 5. I got out the hot glue gun....very messy and got some burns but it was worth it...
I hot glued the Si's tweeter cover over the Mark Levinson tweeter....(NOTE: I set it up so wiring would come out the same place where connector would plug in on Si's factory Tweeter)

Step 6. I hot glued the new Mark Levinson Tweeter to the Si's Speaker Grill/cover

Step 7. Let glue dry and bench tested speakers using system in the house both sounded great.

Step 8. So that I could retain the factory connector in case of going back to stock I used Splice connectors to connect the speakers to the wiring. (special thanx to Pumpdog and his Audio thread- Audio Wire Diagram )

Step 9. Installed passenger tweeter

Step 10. This by far was the hardest part of the whole DIY....(I wanted to shove a screwdriver into my forehead by the time I was done) I installed the driver side Tweeter....

Step 11. listened to stereo to make sure they worked. (note volume level and how loud they are ano bass either....(probably gonna get flamed for the song I choose but oh well just need something instramental)
