Post by: star_whites on 17 November 2011, 17:49:12: But do you have to modify the tweeter first?

Post by: RobG on 17 November 2011, 19:05:58: Get a tweeter from a breaker ideally with the connector & length of cabling.

Cut wires arrowed, remove capacitator, solder cut wires together, job done.

Post by: zirk on 17 November 2011, 19:50:07: Never taken an omega one apart but guessing theres a coil in there somewhere, so standard cross over would be Capacitor in series and Coil afterwards in parallel (the bits that need to come out.

Can I be bold and say I think the OP is after a speaker for His Parkpilot (confirm?) the bit that makes the noise, Rob's mod is to replace the rear sensors, or am I just not reading this correctly?

Ok I got it wrong then, I thought you were modifying the tweeters to use a sensors, probably explains why I gave you a silent 'not sure about that look' when you told me.

sorry Rob :D :D
