Can't find the tweeter cables
Hi All,

Lovely day in Shropshire, not!

Fitting some Focal speakers in my 110 and can't find the Land Rover installed tweeter cables. I have found the speaker cables in the lower dash (not easy) and there are two wires in each spade terminal. So I assume there is tweeter feed wiring hiding behind the dash somewhere. Anyone know where LR may have taped them up behind the dash.

NB. My 110 came without a radio, but has radio preparation.

Cheers

I doubt they are pre wired for tweeters as these generally run from the woofer speaker.

Thanks for quick response. I did wonder if the tweeters had separate cables.
I don't get why there is two wires in each spade of the woofer cable. Paul

Iirc a sample of tweeter wire colours are black and red and white and red.
What ever you put in you'll need a X over if your Tweeters don't already have then which they probably do.
I think they reside around the upper part of cabling each died of the dash roughly where the bundles of loom wires go in and out to the doors area.
So looking from the side just below the air vent areas residing around other wiring routes. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Not the best pic, but hopefully it may help. Two spades, two wires in each, black and white and black and brown from the near side woofer.

Thanks Custom90Steve, the new tweeters have inline x-over and I could wire direct to woofer. I would like to find the tweeter feeds if they exist just in case they are taped together creating a short. I can't see where the cable goes when it disappears behind the heater ducting.

I'm a little confused now..
Am I looking at the positive and negative of the lower speakers?
The speakers iirc had two white plugs one smaller and one larger.
The tweeters have black plugs.
It seems like one is white and another is black there?
Perhaps you've got the two there together at the bottom of the dash.

So you should have at the front
4 x white plugs total consisting of two pairs of negative and positive for the speakers (10cm woofers)
2x black plugs consisting of one for each Tweeter which has both positive and negative combined in one plug. (Which you'll have to cut off and hardwire in if your going aftermarket)
Tweeter plugs are these:

The pic is the nearside woofer +ve and -ve spades on a 2014MY 110.
I am focusing on nearside install at the moment.

Thanks for Tweeter pics Thumbs Up
I was looking for spade connectors for the tweeters. I now see they should have there own connector Idea
Will get the torch and have another look. Paul

They do indeed, there is not much wore exposed but come out of a protective sheath as you can see.
That makes it very difficult to find especially as it's all black too.
Once found the polarity is best double checked with a multimeter or similar as the wire colours are a bit eclectic so it's not just a red for + and black for - but a mix of colours just to makes things a bit more annoying. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Found them Very Happy

Thanks for the pics and assistance, just cleaning the blood of me knuckles. The nearside connector was buried up in the ducting a long way from the tweeter hole. I had to open the false fuse panel cover next to the woofer and feel around.

Job for tomorrow now, time for a beer Thumbs Up Paul
