Tweeters are instruments that are capable of producing very high frequencies. Sometimes it also produces sounds which are the highest limit of the human. The reason for its name is also obtained from high frequency sound from birds. These tweeters are generally attached with the speaker to produce much higher sound. It has to be fixed to the speaker using frequency crossover. This ensures no damage to tweeter since it might get damaged if it receives the same power as that of the speaker. The function of the crossover is to adjust the frequency in the optimal way and also transmit enough power so as to not damage the tweeter. The sound is generally split in such a way between both woofer and the tweeter in such a way that the sound with high frequency is taken by tweeter and the low frequency by woofer. This connection can be learnt by reading this article on how to wire a tweeter to a speaker.
For the connection some basic tools along with a tweeter, crossover cables, speaker, soldering iron and also a screwdriver will be needed. Some knowledge regarding wiring and connection is also important.

The first step is to disconnect the battery of the car. This can be done by removing the negative end. This is done as a safety precaution to prevent any type of short circuiting while making the wiring.
Secondly, the grill of the speaker is removed. Sometimes based on the car, the panel may also be removed before removing the speaker. After removing the panel or the grill, the speaker is removed. This can be done with the help of screwdriver to remove the screws that are used for supporting the speaker. Then the wiring is disconnected.
The cables that are used for crossover are soldered. Its input leads are soldered to the speaker wires meant for output of the car’s stereo. These are the wires that formerly connect the speaker. The negative leads are connected together and similarly with the positive leads.
The leads of the high frequency are then connected to the wire ends of the speaker of tweeter. This can be found at the rear of tweeter. The connection is made in such a way that the positive is connected with its corresponding positive leads and the negative with its corresponding leads.
Then, the other leads of the crossover that corresponds to the low frequency are then connected to the terminals of the speaker. These terminals are found in the backside of speaker. Similar to the high frequency, the leads must be connected properly with its corresponding leads. The positive and negative leads with the positive and negative terminals respectively.
After the above steps regarding how to wire a tweeter to a speaker are done, the battery can be reconnected by placing the negative end back in its position. The tweeter can then be checked for its working with low volume before putting it into full use.
