Tweeters?!

[StuMage]

I'm pretty sure that the passenger side tweeter is blown, and while I'm sure it would be covered by the warranty I would rather just replace them with something better but keep everythinbg else.

Does anyone know if you can just replace the tweeters? I listen to Coldplay so it's not like I'm waking the neighbors or anything lol

I've looked thru the forums and have not found a close match to the situation I'm running into and want to throw it out there to the community

Thanks for any help, and I apologize if this is a redundant question that's already been answered

I think lots of people are afraid to touch em since the airbags are in the pillar. I blew mine less than a week after purchasing the car and it's getting rather annoying listening to it. Make sure you post back here if you do find any info out, as I will need to upgrade mine as well.

Ive replaced many tweeters in gms and have had no issues with the airbags being in the way. Ive done a few Sonics as well. You can order a set of tweeters and install them no problem.

I would have GM replace the tweeter under warranty, the price is right. Once the work is complete I would put in a set of aftermarket tweeters and put the stock ones in the new tweeter box and change them back once the car is going to a new home. That's what I call a win win.

Why go through the effort of changing them before the car sells?

I might be old fashioned or just plain old but if I pay a premium for speakers I am going to change them back to stock before I sell the vehicle. I am super cheap and would install them in my next vehicle one way or another.

No need to worry about the airbags, removing the plastic cover won't set them off.

I've got replacements, just been too busy to install them, going to replace all the OEM speakers with Infinity Kappas, one day....

I'm looking to replace all speakers. I spoke with Crutchfield and they told me that the factory tweeter location had dimensions of 1.6" diameter and 1.17" depth. This info might help with install. The Polk tweeters I looked at were too large (diameter), but the all three series of Infinity ones (Primus, Reference or Kappa series) from their component speakers looked like they would probably fit in there - with some hot melt glue or something else to affix them.
