I took out left hand door speaker box today and got the speaker out. My impression was that the stock crossover was placed in the box. After looking/feeling inside thoroughly I couldnt find it. I was wondering if this capacitor sitting just under the stock tweeter at one corner is the stock crossover (yellow arrow below)?
I was planning to stick the jaycar crossover inside the box where the red arrow points with double sided tape? Is this a good idea?
The red and black wires from the speaker connects to a plug (blue arrow in speaker box pic), which in turn connect to yellow and black wires (blue arrow in tweeter pic) going to the stock tweeter. The jaycar crossover has 5 connectors: W, C, T on one side (shown in pic), and IN and C on the other side. The jaycar tweeter has 2 wires - black and white. I was wondering- which connectors on the crossover connect to which wires- namely the red and black from the speaker and black white from the new jaycar tweeters?
Really need help here guys. Would be much appreciated. Cheers!

Thanks Marius. Really appreciate mate. I was thinking through the matter and what I finally worked out is exactly what you have mentioned, so big reassurance for me. I wil update you with my results on thursday after finishing it. Cheers.

Done! BIG DIFFERENCE in sound quality with the jaycar crossovers and tweeters. I can actually hear SO MANY MORE kinds of tweeting sounds now which were never there before. The speaker sound is also much sharper and refined. Recommend to anyone. At $45 for both tweeters and $32 for 2 crossovers you just cant push your bucks more for the excellent improvement.
Thanks again Marius. The wiring is exactly how you have mentioned.
I ended up screwing the crossover inside the box so that it doesnt move, at the bottom part.
