It's very strange, all of the door speakers work, and the subs in the trunk work (I have M audio), but the tweeters (or what I assume are tweeters-- the little speakers along the tops of the doors) don't make any sound at all.

I've compared, using the same song in the M5 and the M3, and there is loud and clear noise coming out of the tweeters in the M3.

Any suggestions? Seems like maybe there's a common place where all the tweeters plug in?

Thanks

Wow, it didn't even occur to me that that might be normal. Thanks!

They don't work because 1) they aren't tweeters no matter which M5 you buy (they are mid-ranges) and 2) you have M-Audio so there is nothing there at all (2 way separates in the front for M-Audio, 3 way for the rest of us).
