Description
Speaker (tweeter) for various models of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles
High-frequency tweeter designed as a direct-fit replacement for a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics who want to restore original sound clarity or perform an audio repair/upgrade. The unit corresponds to product codes 9661235980 and 6562C7 and fits OE locations used in factory audio systems. Installing this tweeter brings back crisp trebles, improves vocal and instrument detail and eliminates distortion caused by a failed or blown original driver.
Key Benefits
Direct-fit Spare Part: Designed to match factory mounting points and connector layout for easy swap.
Improved High-Frequency Response: Restores clarity lost when a tweeter fails.
Durable Construction: Built to withstand typical automotive conditions such as temperature changes and vibration.
Suitable For: Professional auto electricians, garage technicians and experienced DIY car owners.
How It Works And Typical Failure Modes
The tweeter is the high-frequency driver in the car audio system responsible for reproducing treble and detail. Common reasons for failure include age-related diaphragm deterioration, voice-coil damage from overpowering or amplifier clipping, water ingress (especially in door or A-pillar locations), connector corrosion and mechanical damage during trim removal. Symptoms of failure are loss of high frequencies, distortion at higher volumes or complete silence from the tweeter channel.
Replacement Procedure
- Prepare Tools: Trim removal tools, appropriate screwdrivers or Torx bits, and a multimeter for verification.
- Safety First: If working near airbags (A-pillar or dash), disconnect the battery and wait the manufacturer-recommended time before starting. Follow vehicle manufacturer procedures to avoid damage or injury.
- Access The Tweeter: Remove the relevant trim panel or grille (A-pillar, dash corner or door panel depending on model) using plastic pry tools to avoid damage to clips and trim.
- Disconnect: Unplug the speaker connector and remove any fixing screws or clips holding the tweeter in place.
- Fit New Unit: Install the replacement tweeter, reconnect the wiring, and ensure a secure mechanical fit. Check polarity of the connector if exposed.
- Test: Play audio at low volume to confirm correct operation before reassembling trim. Increase volume gradually to confirm no distortion.
- Reassemble: Refit trim and fasteners, ensuring all clips and seals are correctly positioned.

Installation Recommendations
Use plastic trim tools to avoid damaging interior panels. Inspect the speaker connector and wiring for corrosion or heat damage and clean or repair before fitting the new tweeter. Verify polarity when reconnecting to maintain correct phase with the rest of the speaker system. If the vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket amplifier, ensure gain settings are correct to prevent premature failure. When working close to airbags, always disconnect the battery and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety procedures.
Why The Part Most Often Fails
Tweeters typically fail due to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity, accidental water ingress from door seals, mechanical damage during trim removal or excessive power and clipping from aftermarket amplifiers. Aging foam or soft-dome materials can crumble over years, causing degraded sound quality. Regular inspections and avoiding overdriving the speaker are the best prevention measures.
