Hey guys I want to add tweeters on the 1 pillar, I don't want to buy the by the burmester rotating ones since they're pricey for me, but my problem is wiring, how do I wire them, cause off the shelf tweeters don't have the connector like the OEMs so how can I plug their wires to a Y splitter? All help is appreciated guys if you put ones in your W205 please give help and info, for me and all those who want it for future reference.

 

I dont have twiters. I understand that adding twiters will require to connect these twiters to the head unit which is found in the central console. Please correct me if i am wrong.

 

I remember reading somewhere that all the connections for tweeters are at the doors even if you don’t have tweeters.

 

If this is the case, then should he be able to connect the existing oem cables to his new tweeters.

 

I'm not sure about that, but as far as I can tell even if wiring for tweeters isn't there, you can just use a Y splitter to get a cable for the tweeter, but the thing is the Y splitter has a connector for OEMs while, I want to use regular tweeters which have cables not a connector

 

I assume your car just like mine did not come with tweeters. So what i understand from you is that we can just connect these tweeters to the existing door speakers? Is that correct? No issues for y connectors we can just make a small cut and connect the cables.

 

Yes it's very easy, the tweeters you buy will likely come with small box shpaed thing that' the crossover, so with a Y splitter you can find on AliExpress you can very easily add tweaters, and won't be harming any of the original wires of the car, and can take it off if for some reason you need to. I just wanted a more clinical solutioon to connecting the tweeters like adding a conector to the tweeter cable, but you can just cut the port off the Y splitter and wire them, also you might need to add a capacitor as a fail safe for the tweeters if they don't come with one built in, that's easy to do as well.

 

the OEM wiring does not use passive crossovers. Each speaker has its own channel.

 

I don't know what that means mate, I'm only discovering speakers through this doing some research, and sharing what I'm gathering, care to explain?

 

Do you think the bellow will solve your problem?

If you don't want to "hack" a y-connection - Yes - China makes a "Y-Connector" that plugs into existing door-speaker connector - and YES - you are best served either by adding a crossover or at least adding a capacitor )hi-pass) to the added tweeter.
Do a forum search there is existing tweeter cavity in the mirror triangle - and the "standard" Burmester tweeters (that have capacitor and correct connector) are available on eBay pretty cheap - then there are plug-n-play snap in's from Steg w/crossover, etc...

 

I did a quick search for the regular burmester tweeters you talked about on ebay, and yes that would be the prefect solution for the majority of people looking for this thread that and a y splitter would do it since it'll be plug and play and would cost a total of $60, but for me ebay is out the question since for some reason, it and amazon don't go well with my country, so I'm rellying on tweeters locally and y splittesr for the W205 from AliExpress. Tho tell me mate the tweeters I'm getting come with a crossover that plugs into them, so If I wire the tweeters with the crossover, do I still have to wire a capacitor so they don't blow? or does the the crossover does the job of filtering the frequencies and plays teh failsafe role at the same time?

 

If you get a tweeter or mid speaker with a crossover like this all you need to do is plug it in, use the Y cable.

I just bought the Burmester W205 tweeters and those Y-cables off of Aliexpress. No problems at all and I didnt need any crossovers either.

Yes I'm aware of that, what I mean is that I don't know much about speakers, and looking online, many say that you should a capacitor (other than the crossover) to prevent the tweeters from blowing out, and I'm asking for confimation.

 

You should just stop trying to DIY and pay someone.

 

If you bought real Burmester W205 tweeters they would have passive crossovers built in. As shown.

If you plug a tweeter into a W205 with a dsp amp and no crossovers, it will blow, unless the dsp tune has a proper high pass filter set on that channel.

The MB tweeter is sharing the same channel as the mids which gets lower frequencies.

Thats why the crossover is applied at the speakers.

 

Mate I would lol, but as I said earlier where I live this type of stuff isn't a thing, The only thing you'll find is mechanics, or a dealer 2 hrs away that will make you pay a ton of money

 

Just be sure whatever tweeters you add via the Y-cable have a capacitor. They are typically inline on the + wire or soldered to the tweeter. Another thing you should be aware of is you are going to be splitting the wattage sent to the door speakers with the tweeters. I'd lean towards something <= 50W or you're not going to have great sound from the speakers/tweeter.

 

Thanks mate this is literally what I've been asking about.
