1998-2002 Honda Accord Tweeters Replacement

Use a 10 mm wrench to disconnect the negative battery terminal, followed by the positive terminal.

Note that the dash has been taken apart before, namely to install all those fancy gizmos you see in this picture.

Use a #2 Philips screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the center of the dashboard in place.

Gently insert a spudger or flathead screwdriver directly underneath the clock, just enough so you can pry out the clock. Perhaps a half inch or so will do it.

Slide the clock out to expose a sole Phillips screw.

Remove the screw using your Phillips #2 screwdriver.

Unplug the smaller connector first. There's a tab on top of the connector that you have to push downwards, then pull the connector. Make sure to grasp the connector itself, and not the wires.

Do the same with the larger connector. Again, there's a tab on top that needs to be pushed downward.

Now, gently pull the bottom of the center console towards you. Don't yank it out, there's two more connectors holding it in place.

First take off the red connector. Just like before, there's a tab on top of the connector that you have to push downwards first.

Follow suit with the green connector.

Center dash can now be fully removed.

Remove the four screws (two on each side) holding the double-DIN stereo frame in place using a #2 JIS screwdriver or 8mm socket wrench.

Slide out the stereo head unit.

There is a small notch on the cover, approximately located by the red box, under which you should insert a flathead screwdriver.

Twist the flathead screwdriver until the cover pops upwards, then work at it from each side if necessary.

With your car door fully open, remove the side panel on the dashboard.

Start routing your tweeter speaker cable from through the hole on top of the dash.

Keep inserting and moving the wire until you are able to see it in the small crack between the door frame and the dash.

Use a very thin pair of needle-nose pliers to pull the wire out of the crevice.

Pull out approximately a foot of wire.

Then, route the wire along the edge of the dashboard / door frame, so that it ends up in the side panel below.

Pull the speaker wire towards the side panel.

Now, start routing the wire from the side panel to the bottom of the dash.

Pull out enough wire near your pedals so that you have enough length to reach your stereo head unit.

Dig deep through your center dash (while being careful not to snag your hand on any of the wiring) and pull out the speaker wire you were routing.

Perform the same speaker wire routing on the passenger side. The procedure should be very similar.

Pull the passenger-side speaker cable all the way to the center dash.

Now for the fun part: cutting some wires...

Locate the Left/Front and the Right/Front speaker cables coming out of the radio. There should be two wires for each speaker cable, a Positive and a Negative.

Use a pair of wire cutters to snip-snip those two cables. Don't cut too close to the radio -- make sure that you leave enough length to strip the wire and reconnect it in the following steps.

Use a pair of wire cutters/strippers to strip a portion of the both the tweeter speaker wires, as well as the speaker wires you just cut on the stereo side.

Take the Left/Front/Positive wire coming out of the radio and twist it together with the same wire going to the tweeter, as well as the one going to the front speaker.

Then, use a wire cap to secure the wires together. Wrap the wire cap and wires with electrical tape.

Do the same for the Left/Front/Negative, as well as the Right/Front/Positive and Right/Front/Negative wires.

Now, to install the speaker crossovers...

Cut the tweeter wires and strip them, just like before.

Insert the cut/stripped speaker wires on each side and use a Philips #2 screwdriver to secure them in place.

Carefully place the crossovers and wiring back into the dash, but don't close anything yet.

Insert the routed speaker wire into the tweeter.

Use the Infinity-supplied hex wrench to secure the wire in place.

Use a piece of cloth to secure the tweeters inside the hole. It will prevent them from rattling around.

Reconnect the car battery and turn on your favorite tunes. Use the fader to switch left-to-right as well as front-to-back and ensure all speakers are functioning correctly.

Adjust your fader. There's much more sound coming from the front of the car after installation.
