go and buy some replacement clips for the doors ,otherwise it will rattle like buggery if they break and then u cant get em bak in
U need 10 tweeter housing clips and 6 Door clips, but id get a few more to be safe
also, buy some gaffa tape and tape everythin up to stop the rattles!

If you get confussed what wires to put in the crossover i just ignored the old tweeter cables and put the old mid bass cables in the crossover.Duno what other people have done tho.

u dont need to use the old tweeter cables at all, they are just spliced from the main woofer feed anyway.

buy lots of crimp connections and oh yes... a crimper. dont use more wire than you need and tape it down after.
