For problems like this I heard people just taking a right angle dremel and trimming it. But this usually isnt the case, people usually have problems with putting a 4x6 into a 1 inch tweeter spot so they have to purchase a new mold for it.

Does anyone know which wire are pos (+) and neg (-) for the speakers in the dash? I bought some new tweeters to replace the stock ones. I'll have to do some triming like others have. But I don't know which wire is what on the stock wiring.

I think when I get a blazer i'll just have the four door speakers + a sub for my system... Infiniti Kappas in all four doors is MORE than enough to hear all the highs even with a sub... I'll probably just leave the dash speakers going until they blow, then disconnect them, if I put tweets up there it'd be too much noise..imo

If it's anything like my old S10, then the speaker holes aren't deep enough for the 4x6s (I have Rockford Fanatics) but they sit level, so I could use the factory speaker grill to hold the new 4x6 in place... But the tweeter has a built in grill/cage on it...

Anyone ever consider putting tweeters in the overhead console, in the swiveling light? I'd like to look into this. I think theres a thread on blazinlow........I wonder how hard it would be........would be cool to turn them where ever you want, or heck, do all 4 [sm=goodidea.gif]

I don't have the overhead console in mine, lol, but I can just imagine running that wiring!

It would work pretty good for the most part, until you get a song or something that uses stereo separation and/or left/right channels indipendantly for different sounds... I think it'd mess with the imaging a bit...
