retrofit rotating tweeters (burmester copy)
 
If my car is not equipped with tweeters, will I be able to connect these?
are the the needed plugs already avaliable in my car?

Not sure but nice find. That’s the cheapest I’ve seen those.

I think you will have to run power leads to each tweeter off headunit pin connector - ask the vendor how to install BEFORE you commit to these - taken from E/S Class upgraded 3D Burmester design - also you need audio crossovers for any added tweeter.

Your current triangles you can add/insert tweeters - and you can get metal (not plastic) China grilles - for a lot less - and yes - the wiring connections for the speakers and crossovers for that can be done in the door panel.

I do. :y

I only worship cthulhu. :eek::violent:

It should be an easy install. Taking off the door panel is easy, putting it back on is a little harder.

benzdude 11-15-2018 07:14 PM

All done. :y

Well i am kinda biased, so yes? :D

I tried a few songs that would make proper use of the tweeters and it seems like i have all the tweets coming through nicely. Going for a road test.

How were you able to tie LED's in the speakers to the ambient lights in the car?

it's plug and play.

1. Disconnect #6 connector from door controller and plug it into the harness, then plug the harness into #6 port.

2. Disconnect tweeter 2 pin cable, plug into Y harness cable to new 3d tweeter.

3. Spend 5 hours trying to put left door panel back on with speaker installed. :eek: (realize your mistake) :crazy: :rolf:

4. Spend only 40 minutes on entire right door speaker install. :nix:

benzdude 11-16-2018 09:06 PM

Looks like there is also a mid speaker cover illumination kit. (taps into the same #6 connector)

Did you have tweeters before?
Behind my covers there is nothing.

But very interesting. Looking good

Yes, i had oem tweeters. I have the burmester audio and the 3 color ambient lighting option.

No tweeters? I thought even standard audio included tweeters.

I am selling the brand new tweeter kit for $250, I bought 6 pairs because the vendor was not willing to sell only one pair~. the sound quality is great!

I love them and they work and sound great. A++:D

I am now beginning to hear all the burmester speaker vibration noises that people have been complaining about at certain frequencies :eek:

i will have some work to do in the summer.
