    Just be aware that if you wire the new tweeters as described below,
    you'll have 3 speakers in parallel (including the door speakers) on
    the same channel. At 4 ohm impedance per speaker (standard for car
    audio), that works out to about 1.7 ohms impedance per channel. I'm
    not sure about the Alpine factory head unit, but many amplifiers
    won't handle such low impedance happily. To be on the safe side, you
    might just want to replace the old tweeters with the new ones.
