Need help (ballsed up!)

[Sam21]

When sticking the dash on it knocked part of the tweeter off (they're in 3 bits) and its fallen down the air vent thing that blows cool air into car!

How the hell do I go about getting something out from there? :S
There's no air-con if that makes a difference.

I'm so p*ssed off, spent all day yesterday installing the comps and f*ck up on the last bit!

Was doing fine until half-hour ago
Ok I needed a bit of help but for someone who has no idea about cars or electrics I think I did pretty well to not f*ck up.. until now.
I'm so fkin annoyed lol!!

which vent did it go down, can you take a pic?

 

[Sam21]

Have drawn an arrow on this picture from Fubars guide to show the vent it went down.

if it remeber correctly take out the instrument panel and see where the feed pipe goes pull it off and hopefully it will be in the pipe if not it make have fell right in to the heater box.

I got the fker!! Because it was the bottom bit of the tweeter I knew it had a small little metal spring on..
Problem was I didn't have any magnets, so I ripped apart one of the old renault tweeters and used the magnet from it tied to a bit of fishing line.
I then spent 45 minutes solid dropping it down the vent until at last it gripped the spring and I slowly pulled it up

Now to try and get the dash back on without fkin anything else up :S

just out of interest, do you have a pic of where you positioned the crossovers for your speakers?

 

[Sam21]

Just got the dash back on and all the trim and theres no way im gonna take it back off again lol!

There was a gap inbetween the passenger airbag and headunit and I used cable ties to hold the crossovers in place. It was a real pig though and you're better off just using longer cable and velcroing it to the footwell or glove compartment etc.

Gonna go take her out now and test for rattles, sounds awesome when stationary though.
