My money would be on the tweeter wires being present. The wire colours are just the same as for the main speakers: Orange + Orange/Black one side, Yellow + Yellow/Black the other.

Fitting the tweeters was pretty easy. Others on here kindly measured the distance from the top and side, I drew round the inside of the tweeter locxking ring onto the door card, drilled a seies of small holes around the circumference which I then joined up with a knife. At the time Darren was selling original tweeters for £ 4 a pair so I couldnt say no.

I was given a set of JBL speakers & matching tweeters, which, for a car speaker, are surprisingly efficient & they were duly installed. I’m not a great listener to the radio, however Radio 3 we’re playing a Carl Orff concert, I’d forgotten all about the concert & was concentrating on the road, when the thunderous part of Carmina Burana came on & boy did it make me jump.
Not quite a brown out, but enough for me to check later.

I put a mid range set of JBLs in my previous classic car and was really impressed with them. Certainly chalk and cheese compared with the standard fit, early 80's Ford, paper coned speakers they replaced. Im with you on the Carmina Burana, knocks your socks off, especially performed live.

Not being a foot fetishist I don't really care about knocking socks off, but I would find it much more impressive if it had the ability to knock bras n panties off!

Bra & panties! Pray, do you refer to a ladies foundation garments, my my, a chap should be paying attention to his own sartorial standards, ensuring his tie matches his handkerchief & not what the lady has adorned her nether regions.
Tut tut!
Well really, if you insist on me having a peep, but just one 👀.

They will definitely enrich the sound, it justifies the effort.

I don't do ties, damned things starve the brain of oxygen.....what else would explain the consistent stupid decisions of those who routinely wear them, such as politicians, leaders of buisiness, and the judicary!
