    I'm going to install mine this Saturday and was wondering about the stock tweeters. Did you just not plug the wires back into them?

    Correct, Bill.
    Do not connect the stock tweeter. Just tuck the wire away and put dust cap on the back of them. You will no longer use them with the after market speaker.

    Per my post above:
    I doubt you can tell any difference whether you have the stock tweeters plugged in or not.

    The advantage of not plugging them in is not having to disconnect them when you remove the shelter.

    For sh!ts & grins, when you have your speakers out during the replacement process, plug in at least one tweeter (no speaker), turn on your radio and "see" what you hear. I'd like to know if you have the same observations that I did (almost nothing).

    Choptop,

    Let me know how they compare to your new J&M speakers. I just installed the J&M last week and they sound pretty good compared to stock. I would like to get away without upgrading the amp. For $50.00 if they are better than the new J&M version they might be worth picking up a pair. Also they can handle a amp upgrade.

    I just got my J&M last week, had not had chance to install them yet, heard both yea's and not so yea's and decided to order the JBL's after so many people raved about them. So the J&M's will sit in the box for a while.

    I thought that according to JimmyTee that we couldn't do just an amp upgrade. I probably read into what was being said and misunderstood. Is it possible?

    Jimmie has a sticky thread about his adventure in modifying his stereo. Go to the Accessory Threads in Forums.
    Informative read.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "just an amp upgrade". I don't remember saying that.

    If you could clarify, maybe I could clear up any misunderstanding.
